diff question

[siikmk3]

what kind of diff is in my mk3 i kno its a lsd but what kind of lsd do they come with?

 

[hvyman]

what year is your car?

 

[speedgilligan]

there are 3 lsd ratios afaik...3.73:1 and 3.91:1 in turbo cars and then a 4.30:1 in the NA sport package

jack the rear of your car up, put it in neutral then spin the driveshaft once, the corresponding number of times the wheels spin is the ratio

3.91. 87-88 turbos came with a 3.91, 89+ has 3.73, all n/a's have a 4.30-sport package have 4.30 lsd.

IIRC it is a clutch type, they all are except the TTr dif which was a torsion. Reshim your dif, there should be an article somewhere around here for that.
