What diff in 2.0 manual?

MediumLabowski · 03-16-2017, 05:15 PM

I contacted gm, went thru all the applicable threads, called a couple dealers... i cannot get a straight answer backed by evidence that there even is an lsd in it.

Does anyone have pictures or hard evidence outside of forum regurgitation?

It does leave two smoldering piles of rubber on the ground if that convinces you

The owners manual is no help as it lumps all autos and manuals together...
I would suggest looking up the part# for diff fluid and see which engine/trans options use the fluid with the slip additives...for sake of argument; I looked it up and this is whats going in my rear end come spring:

It's common knowledge. The Alpha platform w the 2.0T has been around since the 2013 model year on the ATS, it doesn't get mentioned because most know I guess... Take a hard corner in one and I dare you to light the inside tire up. Not gunna happen, just pure traction and acceleration out of a corner!

I just got back from a test drive (part of the reason i was asking). I had no problem getting the rear to pop out... in a turn and in a straight line. The power was pretty good. Maybe ill re-visit a new camaro in the summer when i can get traction.

I did confirm there is a "limited slip differential" based on a build sheet. But still, nobody can prove what type.
