How do I know if my Ford Transit has a limited slip differential?
Inspect the differential for a metal tag or model marking. Some manufacturers, such as Ford Motor Company, will mark the differential in some way that designates it as a limited slip differential. The Ford markings, for example, will have an “L” on the differential model number indicated limited slip.
How do you tell if you have posi traction?
Shift your transmission into neutral so that the rear wheels rotate freely. Grasp one rear wheel, turn it and observe the other rear wheel. If the other rear wheel turns in the same direction, there is positraction.
How do you tell if a rear end is posi or not?
Jack both wheels off the ground and turn one wheel.
- If the opposite wheel turns the same direction or doesn’t turn at all, then the rear axle is posi or limited slip.
- If the opposite wheel turns the opposite direction, then it’s probably an open rear axle (non-posi).
