Is this a g85 LSD?


Looking through the axle holes.
Hey guys - So I bought an LSJ g85 transmission on ebay and received this transmission. I'm pretty sure the LSD transmissions had the "LSD" text on the transmission tag. But maybe someone out there is more familiar with this. The donor car states g85 on the door label, but that doesn't mean that it could have been replaced with a regular one.

One, the lsj trans had lsd on the label if it was equipped with a lsd. That part number also shows to be a non lsd trans. Two, the rpo's are not printed on the door label? They are printed on the tag in the trunk.

Thank you Kolt. I checked my car and the tag on the transmission also starts with "FZ". Normally, that's where the "LSD" would be indicated on the g85 LSD tanny right?

The 2009-2010 trans does not have lsd on the tag but they are 3.82 geared so clearly Kolt is correct.

Yeah....I just compared it to mine LSJ (Non-g85) and it has the FZ on the tag.

Well looks like I'm opening up a case on e-bay now since the seller swears that it is a g85.
