LIFT UP THE FRONT END AND LET IT IDLE IF BOTH TIRES SPIN THE SAME WAY ITS LSD.

 

no, my car does that and it has no LSD.

The only way to know for sure if pull the axles and see if it looks hollow through there with no bar through it, then it has LSD.

 

Its to cold in chicago to pull an axle now a lot of people also tell me lift up da car from front and turn one tire with your hand and if both tires move in same direction then you have lsd what do you think

 

nope.....just as posted by PatrickGSR94, that is the only true way to tell if you have an LSD trans...i can do exactly what you had just mentioned and my wheels do the same thing and I don't have an LSD trans either.

 

I guess im going to have to freeze to find out if i have lsd. Any other ways anyone its cold lol.

 

lol dude chill out

 

I don't know if this is serious, and I'm hoping it's a joke, but any car with all drive wheels in the air will spin them all when raised into the air and running.

The usual way to inspect for an LSD (at least in this case) is to either take an axle out and use the image shown above, or to raise both drive wheels with the car in gear and turn one wheel to feel for resistance, or to raise only one wheel off of the ground with the car in neutral and turn the raised wheel in order to feel for any resistance. If the wheel is very easy to move (using only one hand to spin it) and it is able to spin freely at least somewhat, it is likely that there is no LSD present in the transaxle.

This is the process at least use for fuctioning clutch-type LSD's, please correct me if this process isn't proper for checking helical-type LSD's.

 

Do i hane to take out both axles or with pasenger axle out would be finr to check it out.

 

Just go do a burn out... if both wheels start spinning right away, then you probably have an LSD. lol

Why do you want to know RIGHT NOW?

 

I tried the burn out and both tires spined but it does not guarantee u have lsd i want to do it now b/c i have a buyer for that car and i have another project with non lsd trans so i would rather keep the lsd trans if it is lsd so i have to do the swap asap

 

I tried the method of prelude gundam one tire in air and it took both of my hands and force to move the tire.:p

 

what's leading you to believe that you might have LSD? is it a jdm tranny?
