RE4F04B - 4 speed auto with open diff

The only auto LSD I am aware of is the RE4F04W used in the 01 AE edition.

There's a RE4F04V that fits the 95-99 Max - I've got one now in my '99 GXE. The driver's side axle has to be changed at the same time. Mine's from a '99 Infiniti. Works good at the strip.....

i guess the open diff works pretty good at spinning both wheels. Ive seen many hondas do their burnouts in the waterbox at the track and only spin one tire, but i did 4 separate runs, each one with a burnout, and everytime i got both tires loose. Nissan power and engineering for ya.

VLSD/HLSD are only good for conrnering IMO, since you will not annihilate the inner tire when exiting a turn ... (or 4 wheeling )
