So i jacked my car up the other day to get to my trans drain bolt. I have a b16a in my 91 hatch. I started the car while it was still on the stands and while in neutral the tires still kept spinning at a good pace. Being the car was cold and reving a little high this still isn't normal is it?

 

if both front wire is spinning, u hav a LSD tranny but i think its normal. are u doing it was wit the car on? put it in gear and and it wont spin.

 

Yes, it's normal. There is just enough friction inside the trans to get the wheels spinning when up in the air. You'd be able to stop the wheels with your hand though, since not much torque is transmitted.

 

Ya they both spin at the same time. And yes i can stop them with my hand. Thanx alot guys So is that for sure lsd trans.? Got the car with the swap so not too sure. Any other way i could tell? I kno its a b16 cable trans.

 

Pull out the axles and see. But if both are turning it almost dead give away the car has an lsd.

 

orly?

 

O really to what pulling out the axles?

 

He's doubting the idea that if both tires turn it is nearly certain that it has an LSD... and he's doubting for good reason, because many open-diff cars will spin both front wheels when unloaded like mentioned.

 

Bingo.
