went to napa!
And got a quote for to axels, to my disbelief they are both the same price,even though one seems longer!, anyway the guy asked me the only way he can give me the right one is to give him the code off the tag on the tranny? he says it tells the limited slip or not. does anyone know exactly where the tag is and is it easy to see?
thanks

If the car was sold in the USA originally, you have a 98% or higher chance it does not have limited slip.
The best way to figure this out is to jack up the car, getting both front wheels off of the ground. Then rotate one of the wheels and observe the other wheel.
If the other wheel rotates in the opposite direction, you do not have limited slip.
If the other wheel rotates in the same direction, you have a limited slip differential.

the tag with your trans type is on the firewall on the passenger side, not on the trans (though there will be vin tag on the trans if it hasn't ever been replaced before that you could figure it out from).
assuming you have a maxima from the US (not an I30 or a canadian maxima) and no one previous to you did a conversion, you have a non-limited slip trans. that is all that came in american 4th gens.

It doesn't matter which axle you wish to replace and it doesn't matter which wheel you spin by hand.

The metallic plate is on the passenger side firewall. Transaxle identification is on the bottom of the plate.
RE4F04A = open non slip
RE4F04V = VLSD Slip Dif
RE4F04H = HLSD Slip Dif
As Dennis stated almost all 4th GEN ATs in the US are non-slip.

that is not accurate. you can leave 2 marks in an open diff car just fine. all it means is that there wasn't a significant disparity in traction between the two sides.
#14
^^^ that is the same as looking at the tag on the firewall that tells him what's in the car assuming it's the OEM tranny.
which is open diff unless the car came from canada. no 4th gens came with anything but open diff in the USA.
