Limited Slip Differential 200 84

posted by  someone claiming to be David Barton on  Mon Nov 2 14:43 CST 1998 [RELATED]

I would like to get an opinion from those of you with experience with

FACTORY limited slip differentials.

I found an 83 245 GLT (turbo) today in a self serve wrecking yard. I

checked the rear end and both axels turn the same direction, as opposed

to opposite directions as an "open" differential would. The tag on the

rear says it has 3.73:1 ratio (what I need), but there is nothing else

on the tag that I recognize as any indicator that the diff is limited

slip, only a part number and a few other letters. This car has 132k

miles. If has a manual trans and a trailer hitch. The yard wants $75

(USD).

I have never seen a factory limited slip before so I don't know what

markings there should be, if any. Can anyone help before this car gets

crushed?
