how hard/expensive is it to retrofit a LSD on a gxl, i know that the T2's have them, but T2's are alot more expensive than what i'm lookin and i'm just gonna throw out the enine anyway, so i dont' need the t2 engine...

 

Most GXL models had LSD... have you checked to see if your's has it yet?

What year do you have?

 

i don't have it yet,
i someone said that the t2 was the only one w/ lsd....

how can i tell if it has LSD, when i'm shopping around?

 

if the diff is still on the car, jack the back up and the turn the wheel, both wheels should turn together! that 1 way

 

If the LSD is worn only one wheel will turn when you jack it up and turn it by hand.

If it doesn't have an LSD; the opposite wheel will turn the opposite direction.

 

To check if you HAVE lsd:

Jack up the car
Turn one one wheel *it should spin by itself
Go to the other side, and turn the other wheel
Both wheel should now turn in synch


Peace,

PS: Here's another good way of checking. Go to favorite corner in neighborhood. Drift around corner. If it's not too difficult, you have lsd! ^_-

 

i like that idea

 

Will this method work for both clutch type (86-88) and viscosite type (89-91) LSD?

 

Remember to leave car in neutral no matter what type you have. It should work both ways.

Peace,
AJ ^_^
