as the title states

I ask this because I recently snagged 3rd to get a lil chirp chirp...granted it could be tires, but i've never known b16s to have torque haha...and I've dealt w/cars before where they have more oomph and lsd and 3rd gear was always a nono in terms of gettin to the tires to break loose.

anyways, how do I know for sure?

 

on your trans were the axles go you should be able to see right thru but if you see a stick going across is not

 

some people work better with pictures... lol

 

To tell if its truly genuine from JDM Japan, it usually says in big bold letters on your tranny.. "YES, LSD"

 

not a good way....i personally have had 5 lsd tranny's without any stampings

 

jack up the front of the car and place the trans in gear. spin one wheel. if it spins easily and you can plainly see the other front wheel spinning in the opposite direction at the same speed it's an open diff. if there is strong resistance or it's otherwise locked or the other tire wants to spin in the same direction.. there is some sort of limited slip system in place.

and btw, your second and third gear synchronizers hate you.

 

LOL comon Deetz.. I was only joking

 

burnout.

 

hahaha....I bet they do..I don't bang my gears often though, usually if I crack into it I just ease it into gear for those reasons...I was just surprised that it snagged both w/o a true powershift..hence why I blame so so tires..for the mods that I have and the torque the motor makes regardless if it's short gearing I didn't expect it to happen.

kinda cool though

thanks for the responses though fellas....definitely appreciate it

 

ha ha, the op doesn't know that I mean you are right, a lot of the newer ITR boxes do have the stamp, but there were a number of exceptions

 

My Y21 tranny had a very faint 'LSD' ink stamp on it when I first got it.

 

my trans wasn't stamped.

easiest way without taking anything apart is to just burn out and see if you left one or two marks.

 

might do that just for the giggles of it hahaha..

and yeah I figured u all were joking about the "yes lsd" but in all honesty I didn't know for sure if a trans would actually have the letters lsd stamped on or not, that's how new to the Honda game I am : / haha

 

A burnout isn't a good way to determine if there's an LSD. It's possible to still leave two strips of rubber with an open diff.

 

ruined the mojo man, ruined the mojo lol jp

 

The one on my B16 was not this big or in this location, however.

 

My LSD SiR-G trans didn't have the stamp. If they come from the factory with it, there's a chance that the engine importer washed it off when they cleaned the engine. The only way to be sure is to pull out the axles and look through the diff.

 

ORRRR you could still go for the chance to be BA and do a burnout
