limted slip

How can you tell if A D35 Is limited slip without taking of the cover. The axle in question is A d35 from 1990 ( C-Clip), has a rubber fill plug.

Jack up one side and put it into gear, if the tire in the air only spins then you've got an open diff. If it falls off then you have a L/S.


Or you could take off the diff cover and see if there is anything in the middle where spider gears should be.

Or better yet, jack up both sides and while in neutral, spin the passenger tire forward. If the drivers side turns forward, you have a limited slip diff. If it turns backward, its an open diff.
