I was just wondering if anyone has problems with their 92-94 SE Limited slips? We got about 4 inches of snow last night and on my way into work it didn't feel like my LSD was engaging. I may have just hit a ice patch going up a hill but it has always slipped then climbed once the wheels locked. Maybe it was just too cold? Who knows, Any suggestions?

 

Mine Works!
Yanks me to the right though.
Which is normal outta a LSD.

 

was the engine/tranny cold?

 

that is what I am thinking but it just shocked me a bit.

 

keep in mind that it's a VLSD..not a LSD.

 

I realize that the VLSD is not an LSD but in the past it has kicked in when I needed it but this morning it just seemed to linger. Usually a couple of seconds of wheel spin then it is in.

 

hmmm..how's the MTL? maybe good time to get some redline in there.

 

Unfortunately mine is an auto and my tranny has been slipping at WOT above 3500 for a few weeks now
Has new axles/boots, tranny fluid good. Maybe this could have something to do with the problem. MT swap would be a nice summer project if I can make it that long.

 

Go very easy on it and you will,
THAT INCLUDES NOT SHIFTING BETWEEN DRIVE AND REVERSE WITHOUT COMING TO A STOP FIRST.
Yes the caps were / are intentional

 

I have been babying it the last few weeks just for that reason.

 

i didn't know they had the VLSD in the auto too.

 

I actually read something last week that ALL 92-94 SE's Auto and Manuals have a VLSD. I wish I could remember what link it was but I can't. It goes to show you once again how Nissan now cuts corners on cost and that we 3rd genners with VE's got the best deals.

 

My car has it. and it's an automatic

 

yea my auto had vlsd and so does my 5sp

 

im not sure if mine works or not because when i have both wheels off the ground and spin one the other spinnes backwards and i though the lsd would make them both spin in the same direction or so im told

 

That is how it is supposed to work when both wheels are off the ground. The differential is open until one wheel spins faster than the other one. If you only took one wheel off the ground and tried to move the car you would find out real quick if you have a VLSD. If the car just stays there and the wheel in the air spins then you don't have one if it all of the sudden lurches foward and drives off then you do. And chances are if you have a VE you do have a VLSD. They only have 2 transmissions listed for the VE and both have the V in the code, one is manual the other is auto. Now the GXE and other VG's don't have it.

 

my burnout last night told me my LSD is working, poor pooor engine (I got the gauge to say ~6850rpm )

(I just wish it was as tight at the Durango's, put the steering wheel around 80% to lock and turn and the tires start chirping )

 

I ran out for lunch and it seemed to be ok maybe it was just too cold when I started off this morning
