    a lsd and posi are the same thing. if u say its got a torsen in there then it is a posi. just hope you didnt get stuck with a 2 series posi with a 2:73 ring on there.

      how can i tell what ive got in it? i have the plate off of it, and i can see the gears..

      not sure if it matters, but when i spin one tire, only one spins.

        The Torsens are like that. They function as an open rear until it detects slip.

        See how many turns of the pinion flange it takes to complete one rotation of the wheel. Appx. 2¾ = 2.73, 3 = 3.08, 3¼ = 3.23, 3½ = 3.42
