I am replacing the fluid on my D35 and I don't know how to tell if it is limited slip or not. Can anyone help? 96 Sport, Auto. Thanks.

Put the trans in neutral and jack up the rear then spin one tire one way and if the other spins in the same direction its probably LS or posi...Tj

Another quick way to know if it was equipped from the factory...Look in the bottom of the glove box, there was a decal placed there. Or look for the tag on the differential.



Open carrier on the left. Limited slip on the right.

if they haven't been remover then you should have 2 metal tabs on your differential. one with two bolt holes abut 3 inches long and another about 1.5" long and one bolt hole. one has a bunch of numbers on it, and the other one will say use limited slip differential fluid...there you go easy day
