Limited Slip Diff Recognition.

Factory fitted LSD's are all clutch plate, thats why you need special oil.

Hmm, didn't know that -- seems like Toyota made a weird choice for a 4x4... all the clutch LSDs I've seen are pretty useless off the black stuff.

Mind you, every little helps on the brown stuff.

Well........wot u got then????
we're all

I got...........i dunno. After i went christmas shopping and took dog for walk, i just couldnt be bothered to go out and have a look. But i got some stuff to be getting on with tomorrow, so ill check then. But i think its a Ltd slip, as i reversed on some gravel today, gave it a boot full and both wheels span right up.

[MrE]

If both wheels are on gravel they may well both spin! I've just got a Detroit auto locker (LSD) for my Surf, it tells you in the manual to put one wheel on gravel/grass/mud and the other on tarmac then clog it, both wheels should lock up
