What are the type numbers or designations that would be found on a transaxle that is equipped with a factory installed limited slip ?
Any info is appreciated.

Rory. I thought you sold your car or is this info for the new owner?

IIRC - for the 914-4


HAxxxxx = standard 5-speed transmission
HBxxxxx = 5-speed transmission with LSD

..car was still sittin' in the garage last time I was over...

914s came with a factory installed limited slip differential? Never saw that before..

Rory's Olympic Blue car was on eBay last week.

oh...I thought you were taking about his 914/6, not the blue car. I never got to meet the blue one.

Hello
Thank you for the response.
Your info verifies what I see on two transaxles.
As you know there are other telling features as well.
Thanks again
Rory

could you take a photo of the transmission number starting with HB and post it here ??
would be nice

I haven't seen it myself, but Brad Mayeur had told me that LSD transmissions have/had an aluminum tag under one of the nuts for the side cover.

I'll try to get a picture on.
Be patient I make no guarantees that I can do it.

Hello Perry
I just recognized your name.
We spoke a while ago about the left quarter that I hoped to buy back.
Better that you refused, I got that quarter and a whole lot more.
Sometimes patience pays.

I'm having no luck attaching the photo.
What am I doing wrong ?

its probably too large of an attachment. Reduce it, or email it to me and I will reduce and post it. jeff dot bowlsby at sbcglobal dot net

well I would figure being 32 years old my tag is gone. is there a stamping or other designation that would be a way of ID a LSD.

I have just dumped the clutch (in 2nd gear) and both tires light up.

You gota love V-8 power.

If you see HB on the bottom rib of the case it is, or was a ltd. slip. I just got that info myself.
With both rear wheels off the ground in neutral hand brake off, spin one wheel, if the other wheel goes in the same direction it is a ltd. slip. If it goes in the other direction it is a standard diff.
Rory

There's some good info in the FAQ section ...

I'm sure Jeff was correct - I had to shrink the photo, now it will work

tranny number is HB 15112 which means that it was built on November 15, 1972 (wednesday ) => it's out of a MY'73 car
