Picked up a GSR tranny the other day and the guy i baught it from didnt tell me that it might have LSD until we bolted it up. I know you can simply look through the axel holes to tell if i have LSD or not but since the cars already bolted up thats no longer an option.

Somebody told me that i can burn out a few times and if the tire marks are the same for both wheels then it probably has LSD and if they are different then i probably dont. Ill probalbly try this but it just doesnt seem that cut and dry.

Anybody know of any other ways of telling?

 

jack it up both wheels and then put in gear and turn the wheel if both wheels turn in the same direction then u have lsd and if not then you dont hav lsd...

 

^This...
Don't bother burning tires out bro xD

haha i suppose...
but if one is better then the other or whatever they won't look the same. good way to burn up tires and rough up an engine though just to find an lsd.

it also might actually be stamped on the tranny.
just raise it...much easier and safer.

 

 

 

Deetz's solution of looking through the diff hole is the only real way of determining that you have an LSD. I have an OEM ITR trans with LSD. I can see through the diff hole. However, when I jack up my car, put it in gear, then turn one wheel, the other wheel spins in the opposite direction. So your solution is a myth that doesn't work universally.

 

mate - you can actually feel if you have lsd - why ? when you go through tight corner with low speed try to accelerate quickly and you will feel like the car it's not understeer but the corner tightens up...
going straight with high acceleration you will see 2 burn marks after front tires...

 

No, it means your OEM LSD is busted and functioning like an open diff.

 

^salty lol

 

^^^ was just gonna say that...lol

 

just take out both axles and look through.

 

I cant believe the questions on here sometimes.

 

My tires spin exactly the same on my LSD and non LSD car...its really not that hard to pop off the axles and then you will know for sure.

 

really, you could check even taking one axle out. It's not hard to feel if that bar is there or not

 

nope, you dont know how a torsion lsd (most stock hondas) work princess. I suggest doing more reading and less "teaching"

 

I dunno about that. I've definately jacked up B-series honda's with OEM helical LSDs in them and both from wheels turn the same way.

 

well then both of my itr trans (one is brand new, hasn't even had oil in it) are broken and you dont agree with honda or detroit locker but what do they know.

 

Flashlight, too, if you can get your head in there. Or, camera with flash.
