Which is better? Whats the difference with Maximas . Ive seen the VLSD mod before and im some sort of confussyion.

locking dif = lsd = better

 

There is no true "locking" differential for the max, nor would you probably want one.

A limited-slip was offered for certain Canadian max's. A lsd would be quite nice....

No road worthy vehicle could use a true lockup diff anyway. Imagine trying to take a turn with both the inner and outer wheels turning exactly the same. Can you say premature wear on tires and suspension parts? Posi-traction, limited slip, traklock...it's all the same stuff, but with different names due to the different manufacturers copyrights on these products. Now the lockers themselves...well, that's another story.

 

I just got an LSD tranny out of a 97 Infinity I-30 and what a difference on Turns...I do have a lot of handleing stuff for my car, but dam* what a difference. You can actually feel the transfer of power because the locker that they used on the LSD tranny for the maxima, is a Viscus LSD...so it slipps as it it switches to the other wheel. you can sometimes feel the delay of power but of course I feel everything

Launches were improved but you still get alot of wheel spin if you launch too high but both spin now (we all have done it)

 

So all american made maxima transmissions are non-locking?

 

correct...... i wouldn't call them american made, but the maxima's sold in the US did not have LSD (or non-locking transmission if u wanna call it that)

I prefer honda's name for LSD - "active torque transfer system"
