Have I been reading correctly? Is there some type of LSD in the SE's?? What type is it? How well does it work? Are there any problems I need to be aware of?? or am I completely

it's a VLSD. I forget what that stands for though

Viscous Limited Slip Differential. I think up to 20% of the power can be transferred between wheels.

some guys that I work with say that they have never seen a FWD car with LSD. they said that you have to have a rear diff in order to have LSD. I didnt know what to say to this. Im sure that its not like super rare to have LSD in a FWD car but how can I explain to them that it does have a VLSD?

It's not dependant on weather it is FR or FF. It's dependant on the manufacturer and what he wants to do. Very often on more luxurious cars you would see VLSD. Volvo S60 has traction control and thats FF. Saab 95 is the same.

tell the guys to come check out this thread

What does the VLSD actually do? I know it makes it so i can spin both tires, which is pretty impressive cause no one else at school can do it, but other than that what is it for?

when one tire doesnt get traction, it transfers power over to the tire that DOES get traction, giving you control over traction, ie traction control, where all your friends dont have it

But how would both tires spin? Because the way i see it in my mind was if one tire starting spinning it would drop power to it and put it on the other one and then it wouldnt spin...

Golden Ice

because it tries to spread the power SOME, not dump it all at the wheel thats getting traction, so when you're on pavement, both spin because neither tire is getting traction...if that made sense..it made more sense in my head than it did after I typed it...

LSD is not to be confused with Positrac which is generally only seen on RWD vehicles, where both tires get the same power...which allows for great fun if your vehicle has the motor to break em loose

VLSD is just a slight step above an open dif

open > vlsd > posi (locker) > spool (welded)

Tell your friend to go check the new SRT-4 , whitch is LSD and FF . 92 + SE are too , cause i think VG never got that . But thats not ALL the VE who get LSD . There was a thread a few weeks ago on that , you can see that by a letter in the hood . Dunno witch one , but you can : P

At the end of the transmission code look for a V (VLSD) or A (no VLSD)

an LSD is not traction control.
Traction control is electric and depending on the system will do anything from cutting engine power to applying the brake on a wheel.

Ja[M]z

True . 2002 Cavalier does have Traction Control , and plenty of cars got it today .

Thats not the same thing for LSD .

Akuma2001

So in traction control the mechanism will cause loss of power to the wheels. And VLSD just transfers from one side to the other depending on which side gets traction.

Limited Slip Differential, if you cannot make out what that means I suggest you type it in googe or something..oh let me be quiet, I am the guy who asked can a 240sx engine fit sideways in an SE after all..* bows head and leaves thread *

Well technically the stock KA24 sohc or dohc can fit sideways into a maxima. As that's how they are in the older Altimas. But the RB series inline 6 engines are NOT 240sx engines. They just happen to fit. People fit GM LS1 V8 engines into FD mazda RX7s. That doesn't make them RX7 engines.

Ok so AFTER looking at my tranny, where exactly is the code located?

internetautomar

iTrader: (30)

on the firewall

CyMax

iTrader: (5)

Oh that Giant silver plate with the codes all over it.

.......and... It's a V, (cigars all around) Thanks for the help everyone.

I have as of yet to see an LSD-less VE

subs1000w

i dont think they ever put a non lsd in a ve

CyMax

I think that says it Either way I'm happy to have it. I nearly spent way too much too get a LSD put in my old Probe, heck I'm a step further.
