S4 vs S5 LSD pumpkin difference? (n/a)
How would one go about telling the difference between a S4 and a S5 LSD out of an N/A just by looking at the pumpkin?
I'm sure there are some physical (visible) differences, but I've searched and came up empty.
If I had an S5 pumpkin, how would I know it was a viscous type as opposed to clutch type?
Thanks!!

bump.
Any ideas? Someone mentioned a nipple might be present on the S5 one for fluid. Anyone have pics of either (or both) that we could compare?
thanks!

i thought of that yesterday, someone needs to take a pic of a non lsd rear end and a lsd rear end and see if they are different, that way whenever a 16yr old who wants to know if he has lsd all they have to do is look at a pic rather than asking. its like an average of 4 posts a week about lsd's...

Just to clarify, please read my original post -- I don't care about the difference between a non-lsd and lsd. I want to know how to tell 2 N/A lsds apart, one being S4 & one being S5. So it sounds like what Kevin is saying is that there is no way to tell w/o disasembling the pumpkin itself?
that sucks.
that sucks.

There is a minor difference in the pumpkin between the S4 and S5 where the jack support is.
but there is no external way to tell the difference if it has a LSD or not on a S5

Yeah, and I'm pretty confident that I can tell it's an LSD -- what 'minor difference' is there? Obviously pics would be best -- I can't even find decent pics anywhere...

So what's with the label I've got on mine? It's a little metal tab hanging off of the drain bolt (I guess that's what it is) that says what kind of diff it is. It's on a 88GXL.

From what I understand, the tag will indicate it's an LSD. Problem is, most tags are probably gone after 15 yrs & 100k miles, so if it's missing, that doesn't mean it's not an LSD.
