Hey guys I finally got my 240 on the road and was wondering how I can tell if it has LSD. Yeah I know do a burnout and I did that and both tires spun, but I was wondering if you could tell off the vin number or marking on the case of some kind. It feels like it has LSD chatter when pulling out or maybe I'm just a s*** driver lol. Any input would help.

The actual pumpkin should say LSD on it, other than that you can jack up both rear tires and spin them, they should spin in the same direction if it's a helical, not so sure if it will work very well on a VLSD. If you're leaving a pair of stripes on the ground that should be a pretty good indication that it's an LSD of some sort. One-tire fires are hard to miss.

When I bought the car I wasn't told about any mods just knew it was blown up and needed a new engine, but yeah I left some nice stripes at our local skatepark lol. I blame my friends for being entagonists.

Don't let the 2 tire fire fool you! I've layed down double stripes in my old automatic trans, open diff.
