how do i kno if i have an lsd??a friend of mine told me i didnt have 1. but im not too sure if hes right or not. io have a 89 gtu by the way

 

unless the previous owner swapped one in, i dont think it has an lsd

 

S5 GTU doesn't come with a stock LSD.

 

^^are you sure?

I thought the gtu had one...

either way try the tried - tested - true (and not to mention throughly enjoyable) method of determination...BURNOUT then see if you have one streak or two

 

AFAIK


1) its in the FAQ threads
2) I own an S5 GTU



The S4 GTU had an LSD.

 

 

The other way to tell is to jack up the rear of the car and turn one of the wheels by hand. If the opposite wheel turns the same direction, then you have an L.S.D. (courtesy of some previous owner). Otherwise the opposite wheel will rotate in the opposite direction.

 

1 wheel in the grass, 1 on the road, hit the gas and see what happens

 

burn out is NOT a way to check if you have LSD
it does remove dead tire cells off your tires though.

 

the 89 GTU did not have one, the GTUs did however, so you dont have one unless a previous owner put one in. the only way to know for absolutely sure is to tear it open and look at whats inside.

and spinning the tires is not a good way to tell if its a LSD, my friend doesn't have a lsd in his rx7 and he spins both tires when he dumps the clutch.

 

well i dont think he installed 1 so im guessin i dont have 1. and when i burn out both tire marks are on floor. cuz imma do a 13b re swap and i wanted to get a t2 drivetrain wut do i need?? t2 tranny, t2 driveshaft,t2 lsd,???,???? thats all i kno of. can ya'll guys help me out?

 

Why is that? I'm pretty sure that it works.

 

t 2 fl;ywheel starter clutch harness ecu and throttle cable

 

because you can spin both tires with an open diff, having bad tires.

 

Easiest way to tell. ^^^^^^^^

 

+5

 

In most cases this will work, unless the LSD is toast.

 

i dont know bout the s5 gtu but my 88 gtu has a plaque on the diff that says LSD

 

thanx.. and guys imma try the jack up the rear end later and ill let ya'll kno..

 

The S4 GTU has LSD. It was the lighter, sportier model in a S4. The S5 GTU is considered the base model.

 

LOL I Love my S4. after all the trouble of replacing parts it finally paid off, i got it working and now i love it more than ever!
