how do I recognize a limited slip differential?

[Lonny]

Lonny: When you add the Quaife LSD to a transmission at the factory, do you alter the plate and stamp it in some way?

Nope. Probably should.

If you have both axles out and look through the axle holes you can see a difference.View attachment 14263
The image above is not a limited slip differential.

This one is a limited slip differential.

I know I'm bringing and old thread back from the dead but thanks for the info Lonny. I was bummed because my cars seller said it was a LSD but after I bought it I didn't have the G85 trunk code or tag on the trans. According to your pics looks like I have an LSD F35.

From your pic and Lonny's post pic, if I rrad it right, you do have an LSD. Otherwise you'd see a shaft blocking your view through the transaxle.

It's was like a late Christmas present when I discovered it. The cheap and badly wrecked donor just keeps having good surprises.
