Ross Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 I thought only RX's had LSDs. Am i wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Yes, but not completely. LSD was optional equipment on the EA82T models but I'm not sure when that started. In '89 I believe it became standard on the EA82T models. RX models always came with the LSD. I thought only RX's had LSDs. Am i wrong?

RX models always came with the LSD.Yes, but not completely, in 89 they were standard on RXs and GL-10 Full Time 4WD Turbos with manual trannys.

WJM Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Ditto. Only standard on RX's and that 89 GL-10 turbo FT4WD wagon. Otherwise...optional, but 90% of the turbo stuff out there is open diff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Listen to what the doc says "RXs and GL-10 Full Time 4WD Turbos with manual trannys." I listened to what Will said and got burned. The 89 GL-10 turbo automatic (i.e. 4EAT) FT4WD do not have it as standard equip.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganM Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 The 89 GL-10 turbo automatic (i.e. 4EAT) FT4WD do not have it as standard equip.. Is that the same 4EAT used in Legacy and Probe GTs ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 then I guess my RX is special since it had the 4EAT and the LSD in the rear.... or is it ALL RXs no matter tranny in '89? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Caboob no your RX is not special like Doc and Will say ALL RX's. Maybe we should spell this out in plain terms. The only other car (not "sports car") in the Subaru line up of this vintage that had the rear limited slip differential as standard equipment was the 89 GL-10 turbo with the single range 5 speed manual transmission with full time four wheel drive it also had an electrically (vacuum controlled) lockable center differential.. Sounds like a great vehicle for you north state band grips that have to transport the equipment to and fro gigs. We need the XT crowd to fill in the XT6 line. There was rumor of a XT6 manual tranny w/LSD but I do not know if the LSD was standard. It had the 3.9 vs the 3.7 RAR (Rear Axle Ratio) The XT6 FSM from 91 simply says "The LSD is installed on the rear differential of four wheel drive vehicles" As far as the 4EAT goes, it was and still is used in the Legacy line although it has seen many refinements. as for the Probe, maybe the Ford boys can answer this.

Dr. RX Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 Since an automatic tranny was only available in a RX in 89, it is possible that they got the LSD since all RXs had them and the rear ratio for autos is 3.70. On the XT6 possible 3.90 LSD, someone here on the board posted a part number and a link where you could look up that part number. I checked that part number against my Subrau parts book (1985 to 1990), the parts book only showed it as a good number for a LSD rear diff, it did not give a ratio. I sent an e-mail to the dealer who had the web site listed in the post to confirm the information that they listed, I never got a reply from them.

MorganM Posted February 11, 2005 Share Posted February 11, 2005 I dont care what it came on standard; I check every single one I find for an LSD. Just peek under the skirt and find out if its a boy or a girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
