The M2P4/U2Q7 has a shorter 5th gear. The last number in the line is the final drive ratio ;)

Just regurgitation of info I have picked up over the years plus the jobby you learn when you pretty much rebuild a Prelude :geek:

IS the gearbox installed and fitted to the car? If so you can jack both sides of the car up and spin one wheel, if the other wheel spins the same way, you have an LSD.

I personally don't know if it is 100% fact as I have not tried it, I have never needed to, but I believe it.

Or you could find a bit of grass next to tarmac. With one wheel on the grass accelerate quickly. If you only spin the wheel on the grass you don't have an LSD ;)
