[malloynx]

after doing research i found a torsen LSD will act like an open diff while the tires are in the air. i also found out alot of the turbo models came with the torsen..

is this correct>>

now on to the tranny,,, what should i check???

Ok thanks. Damn, now I'm gonna have to jack it up and see what it's doing for sure. I've had a torsen lying around for years but never bothered to put it in. Might be time.

Open or Torsen turn opposite

LSD should turn the same direction as the Clutch packs "limit" the slip from wheel to wheel.

When the Clutch packs are gone it will go open.

Only Turbo's I know of that had the Torsen stock were the JZA70's Mike.

I've never heard of a US model that came with a Torsen but I've been wrong before. The diff code on your data plate might shed some light on that.

[malloynx]

Sounds like it. Looks like you and I are in the same boat. Does the diff otherwise run OK? Any noises? All this still doesn't resolve the original issue though. Data plate should be on the firewall but all it might do is indicate LSD.

i was told by a fella with a jz70 that if there is a 9 in there for the diff then its a torsen.
