Well, the way I can tell is a USDM tranny makes a "WAAAAAA!" sound when you romp on the gas while a JDM tranny makes a "WAAAAAA-SAN!" sound..

Seriously, I don't believe there is a way to tell just by looking at them. But if someone else knows differently please correct me.

Take a look here: http://www.bseries.net/html/specs/btrannyspecs.php

It might help you a little.

I'm almost positive that if you have an OEM LSD in there, there are the letters "LSD" on the tranny near the code.

I think you can tell by looking in your wallet and noticing that it's empty
