The F23 transmission has an open differental, you can buy an LSD from Quaife

ummm physically its hard too , finding out what type of tranny u have equipped will help, the only other way i can see is if u get some one to watch while you while spin the tires not too sure tho im pretty sure mine dosent

actually kinda easy for instance in 2005-2007 only select g85 models had it

i think it came standard on the SS 08-10

Standard in 2010 SS, optional in the 05-09 builds.

If you want to know if your car came with it and you have an SS look on the RPO sticker in the trunk under the carpet on the left side and look for the code G85. If you don't have an SS your car did not come with LSD no way no how.

if its lsd, and u jack up the front end, spin one tire, wouldnt the other tire spin the other way???

Nope, that'll happen on an open diff car too as the path of least resistance is the other wheel for that momentum instead of up into the transmission.

If you jack up only one side and leave the car in neutral I believe you wont be able to spin the wheel too far before the LSD kicks in......I think...dont quote me on that, easiest way to find out is to look at the RPO sticker in the trunk.

 

[Jmesl8er]

Do you have one????^^^^^^^ If so, how much of a difference does it make compared to a regular cobalt???

 

[Tuner923]

i has lsd.. but never driven non lsd cobalt to compare..

 

[Jmesl8er]

would it be worth installing if you don't race?? would it be better in snow?? would it affect gas mileage?? Never had a front wheel drive with an lsd

 

[YelloEye]

It understeers easier but overall drives better with the LSD.

doesn't make a dif in the snow. I had a horrible time in the snow this winter with even with the lsd and traction control. I found it was better to turn off the traction control.

 

[YelloEye]

Traction control was designed to limit slip on dry and wet ground, not snow. Any vehicle that has a "Snow" or "Winter" mode disables traction control in that mode. My LSD saved me from calling a tow truck this winter when I spun her doing 15 on ice into an embankment, pulled out without a scratch.

Lift up both front wheels. Put it in nuetral. Spin one wheel. If the other wheel spin the opposite way, its an open dif. Same way its an LSD.
