hi i just bought a car it came with a jdm obd2 b18c... and jdm motors have LSD tranny rite? but on mine i dont see the LSD stamp on the trans?? is it because mine dont have lsd...... how can u tell if u have lsd? thanks in advance

 

You could take an axle out and look through the differential and see if it's LSD or not by seeing if you can see all the way through

Do a burnout and see if you leave 2 tire marks lol

 

great thanks i will try it 2mrw...

 

or you could lift up the front end put it in first and spin one wheel. If the other one spins the different direction then yes you have lsd

 

Not all JDM engines have LSD. You could have a b18c sir which is like usdm gsr. And those lsd was optional.

 

My tranny says LSD right on it then again I have CDM spec.

 

ALWAYS been my fav


but, back in the day i had a turbo LSVTEC CRX that would lay two tires threw 2nd gear with just a std US spec A1 tranny. diff pin ended up being faulty and shooting threw the case. but it still was not an LSD tranny, and would leave 2 marks. wanna be forsure? look for the pin threw the axle holes...

 

i just did burn out 2day and it lay to burn marks, so does that mean my motor has lsd.. no mods on the engine besides a ebay intake, and a ebay exhaust aswell.... also i want to put it on a dyno to see what # it will put out... i never owned a b18c. my first car was a 2000 si.... thanks for the info

platinum_rich: i will try that aswell... thanks

 

Just cause it lays down two patches dosent mean it has an LSD. My Prelude would peg-leg sometimes and sometimes not.

 

pull an axle and see if the bar is in the middle. a flat burn out tells you nothing since an open diff will spin both on an even surface.

 

Remove passenger side axle. Look through tranny hole. If there is a bar in the hole, its NOT an LSD.

 

thanks all...... i will look at it when i do the motor swap... and my car idle real bad dont know why... when i start my car let it idle for 1-2 mins then drive it's fine... then when i really punch on it 2 gear and let go it still ilde at 2-3000 rpm... even when the its in neutral?? wat could b wrong

 

you have a vacuum leak

 

the same thing will happen with an open diff.

 

does anyone have a pix of inside the tranny with lsd... i want to see wat it looks like b4 taking my car apart.... any help will be appreciated...
