My '94 968 coupe does not list M220 on the option tag. Bummer. However, I heard that for 94-95 the LSD was standard equipment. Is this true or just wishful thinking?
Thanks,

Ken, as Damian stated its not true at all. Damian's cab did not have it and I know of a few more that don't have LSD and are either 94-95. Lots of mis-information from other boards at times.

Ken, on the option tag it would be listed as 220 but I think you would have figured it out if that was on it.
As Damian and Raj have said the majority of 968s do not have LSD. I am very happy that I was lucky enough to find one with LSD!

And keep in mind that the 92 968 LSD is different from the 93-95. The 93-95 is the torsen design (torque sensing) where the 92 is a ZF unit (I believe). As mention by others, lots of misinformation on this subject elsewhere. I don't have it either. It is even rarer on cabs.

I am going to possibly wrongly expand on that but I believe that both the clutch (ZF) and torsen units were available in 92 and that they may have different option codes.

Thanks for the info. I had heard this from another 968 owner while at a pca autocross this past summer.
Damian, what does IIRC stand for?

Jeff, I have a copy of the 94 Porsche Fact Book which is a little black book that the sales guys carried around. It has two option codes "M 220 Locking differential" and "M 221 Porsche-locking differential".
The Rennlist option decoder http://registry.rennlist.com/optioncode/optioncode.asp and this website also lists the 221 option code http://www.cantonia.com/option_codes...944OptionCodes
I assume that the Torsen unit is the 220 and the ZF (clutch) type manufactured by Porsche is the 221. LSD for a 92 tiptronic that I looked at was code P08.
