I assume they were at least available as an option. Were they, or were they standard? If an option, how can I tell if a car has one? Do they work well? Are they the Torsen diff that's very popular with Miata enthusiasts?

 

Yes, std.

It's not really a LSD, but its called a Torsen Differential.

 

So a torsen is not a form of LSD????

I just learned something new. All my life I thought that TorSen stood for Torque Sensing Limited Slip Differential.

it is the torsen lsd that is popular with the miata crowd and it is standard

 

^ thats because it is a miata diff. Our diffs were sourced from mazda by honda.

 

Technically its not,

Interesting, I was looking on this board about that whole Mazda differential being on our car...and I found a few posts about it not being a true LSD. So I guess its an LSD after all...?
