Guest The Flash Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Hi all Quick question. Had a possible buyer look at my car yesterday - I managed to answer most of the questions, but he asked if it had a Limited Slip Diff!! Far too technical for me, but does anyone know if they were standard? Car is a '95 TT Auto Import - model RZ-S I think (ie Full leather, electric drivers seat, but no active spoilers etc) Many thanks for any help Flash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 look at your Chassis plate. across from 'A340E' you will have a letter (A or B) a number (01, 02, or 03) followed by another letter (again A or B) If the last letter is B you have a LSD, if A its a normal open diff.

Digsy Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Originally posted by Scooter not ALL auto's have a LSD as standard (like the manuals) but some do........ Mine does. With a normal diff, when one wheel loses grip, all the torque gets funnelled through the spinning wheel, so you don't go anywhere. With a limited slip diff, torque carries on getting channelled to both wheels even when one is slipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chase Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 I've got a LSD on my auto GZ as well. I'm sure it stops doughnut fun... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Look at the last letter where it says Trans/Axle:) Differential Type A (Std diff), B (Torsen LSD) Auto's can also have a LSD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonB Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Originally posted by Chase I've got a LSD on my auto GZ as well. I'm sure it stops doughnut fun... Other way round! You can't do proper doughnuts without an LSD as the inside wheel just spins and you just drive round in a circle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKEYmark Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 i bought a uk spec lsd for my non lsd jap netto supra on a non lsd car you can get good at doing 1 wheel burnouts with lsd when you want to get back end out it seems so controlable. and its also a quick way to spin car around 180 degrees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitelightning Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Mmmmm Doughnuts. Must have ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as if there's a clutch to dump... In need of new rear tyres, so might as well send the old ones out in a blaze of glory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
