if its not too rusty i would look for a finned cover on the diff, if you are lucky it has a CLSD, these are very hard to find and are worth like 800$ on ebay.

he meant VLSD which is viscous limited slip differential. and its identifiable by the fins on the back of the diff.

no i meant CLSD.(Clutch LSD) only the 88 shiro had the viscous diff.  
\* 84-87 NA = 3.7:1 open  
\* 88-89 NA = 3.9:1 open  
\* 84-86 T = 3.54:1 open  
\* 87-89 T = 3.7:1 clutch LSD \*  
\* 88SS = 3.7:1 viscous LSD

- only 87 turbos made after 04/87 had LSD. Before this, they were open differentials. Canada supposedly didn’t get LSD until the 88 models.
