hi i know its a stupid question but how do you tell if its a lsd..? ive heard that it has a sticker on the diff..that says lsd but im not expecting a sticker to last 20 years..soooo is there a procedure that i can perform on the diff..to tell?? ive tryed to search for it but to no avail...sucks but oh well..let me hear all the ideas that you have on the matter and ill try them all..thanks for your time..

:AA:

 

jack the car up from the rear, and spin one wheel, if the other wheel spin the same direction, its got LSD. if it spins the opposite, you got an open diff.

 

It is not a sticker but a Metal tag under a bolt. If it ain there then it aint an LSD.

 

 

some diffs dont have this, it can also get lost in those 20 years.

although a quick way to see if it is an lsd or not, checking it is best.

 

Some diffs are also JUNK after 20 years

 

some like queloods and acid.

 

hmm, damn..well i know for sure that the one i have on my car isent lsd and the one i bought is in question here..soo if what you guys said then i have no lsd here..damn i got ripped..fudge..well is there anyway i could test the one thats off the car..?? cause theres no tag on it..thats for sure but..dont the clutches wear after awhile? and they dont lock up as fast? my friend said theres no way to tell unless you put it on and do a burn out then you will know..but oh well...:sigh: anyone know how to test it cause theres no sticker? or did i get burned..?

:AA:

 

I read that most FC's are balanced well enough to put down two strips of rubber whether you have an LSD or not.

That's what I was talking about AA but you know my mind is always overwhelmed and I kinda just stutter........unless I'm drunk.

 

yeah i get it..but is there a way to tell when the diff is off the car..? hey drugblock remember that diff that i brought when i went up there? thats the one in question..damn it

:AA:

 

If it has the stub axles attached, see if they both spin at the same time. If so, you have lsd. Another way to tell is to take it appart, since its a good idea to rebuild it anyways

 

i think you mean in the same direction.

 

Same time/same direction...its all the same!
But really, just rebuild it. Having a fresh clutch pack in there makes a world of difference.

 

+1 on the notion to just go ahead and rebuild it. It won't cost that much and it's not all that difficult to do. Sure as hell beats paying $900 for an aftermarket unit!! Just my .02 though.

 

Heh,heh..ACID-angel..askin about LSD.!!!..no-one else 'See' the pun here?..But seriously If it's workin right ..the wheel thingie ..Like Spirit said..

 

what's worse; a noob that asks too many questions, or a noob that THINKS they know everything?

 

this was cute

like rx7 lsd's, you don't know how good it is 'till you try it

 

misterstyx69 holy ****..?! haha..good one..i would have never saw that..hmm about the both of them spinning when i turn the driveshaft part..that happens soo i guess it is..right?
oh and trust me whats worse is a noob that thinks they know it all, at least im not sounding like i know what the f*ck is up..i ask so i learn..

:AA:

 

you can tell almost immediately if its lsd or not. if you start tripping serious *****, its lsd

 

Acidangel, if you spin one axle and the other on spins in the same direction then it's an LSD. If it spins in the opposite direction then it's an open diff. Don't get mixed up on RXgirl7's description.

 

I have checked it out, if you spin the driveline yoke, the axles spin the same direction NOT OPPISITE, but if you hold one of the axles the DL will still turn wilh the other axle. It doesnt have a LSD tag but who knows. If we pull out the diff it should be obvious with the LSD clutches. PULL IT APART AND REBUILT IMO. If it turns out it isnt LSD, post up the members SN and ask WTF!

 

i know who the guy is soo i called him already and asked him if he was sure that it was a lsd and he said he was, he also said that i could bring it back if i wanted to but i wanted to find out if it was or not that way i dont waste my time installing it and getting the same **** in my car..if im going to rebuild it im going to need some help, cause i dont really dont know how to..although im sure i could learn....

:AA:

 

The will to learn + Haynes or FSM + effort = rebuilt LSD. Just take your time and do it by the book and you'll be just fine.

 

haynes has the rebuild info? i dident know this? wtf?! hmmmm..permiscuious girl where ever you are, im all alone and its you that i want..haha stupid song..sorry there blasting it here at work..sooooo rebuilt lsd here i come..i guess..

:AA:
