Getting the Wheeling Fever
Hey I have a GEN I 2.6L/manual tranny. How do i determine if I have a limited slip diff? I have the motor apart so i can't really check the easy way..

Orange sticker in the driver's door jamb, maybe a tag on the diff itself too.


Fasteddy's advice is occasionally sound...

Another easy way is to jack up the rear axle, both tires off the ground at the same time. Spin one tire. If the opposite tire spins the same way, you have a LSD. If the opposite spins opposite, you have an open diff.


I just want to tell you both good luck, and we're all counting on you.
