Something I don't know about my car and don't know how to determine is whether or not I have a LSD. My options sticker is long gone. How do you tell if it's LS. My car will fishtail fairly easy.

there's probably a code somewhere but you can tell when driving...if the inside wheel spins freely in a corner then you don't have it. if both rear wheels sping at the same rate you do.

From experience, there are a fair number out there that are too worn to do the job properly!It's worth checking whether you are meant to have one or not and then see if it is working! Rebuilding the LSD with new plates isn't too expensive and it can make a big difference.

is it normal for the LSD in this car to be a bit graunchy in very tight low-speed turns. Last time I drove a 996 GT3 I could hear and feel the LSD at low speeds but I'm wondering if you're supposed to in a 964.

[QUOTE=SimonExtreme]Yes! The noise is, IMO, part of the experience. As I pull out onto the road, it's noise reminds me of driving a race car out of the pits and it still brings a botish grin to my face.
absolutely! it's why I love the car...it's a MACHINE! you feel the diff, the gears, the road - even the odo clicks forward in deliberate mechanical movements. it's like a fine automatic watch - all metal, gears and springs with no BS!

And on LSDs making noise?

Yesterday morning, mine did the same thing. Cold and chilly and the rear end broke loose while I was romping on the throttle while taking a sharp left turn at an intersection. Kept it under control, but I was wondering if I would have been able to control it if the street was wet.

as for mileage...my car has 55,000 miles but you can only hear the LSD as it binds in parking lot 90 degree bends.

I've had 3 cars with factory installed ZF LSD transmissions. None made any different noise than open diffs, mileage on those cars ranged from 21k to 97k.
I just rebuilt a 944S2 transmission and swapped in an LSD from a spare 135k mile 944T trans - I disassembled the LSD, the friction discs were fine, and the slip torque was still within the factory spec range.
I believe that the design of the 964 LSDs is the same as the 944 ZF 40% LSDs.
