There should be a tag on the diff casing with the ratio..

Or jack up the rear of the car and turn one of the wheels if it turns the same direction LSD :thumb: if not OPEN diff :( ..

All sports should have an LSD

Jack one rear wheel up and try to turn it,if its very hard/impossible to turn it's and LSD.

There should also be a small metal tag on the back cover that will read S3.91XXXXX(x=ramdom digits) or S3.64XXXXX.

3.91(face lift sport) or 3.64(preface lift sport) refers to the ratio of the dif.
