it didnt really answer my question cause it dosnt say wich model comes with LSD or not. like if the GTU is 4.30. or if the GXL's are.
from what i heard...if its a 5-lug. its LSD. i havnt seen a GXL or GTU without an LSD. so im still confused if my 91 GXL is 4.10 or 4.30 viscous

I dont know. Mine is a 5 lug and it sure seems like it isn't an LSD. Theres's no tag on it saying its an LSD which my old one had. Unless the tag got ripped off and the diff is shot. It does have over 260,000 miles on it.

im pretty sure the GTU comes with a 4.30 rear end on all years. same as the GXL? i know all TII's came 4.10 im not 100 percent sure though. some help please???
The following cut and paste from the other forum should answer your question.
"Did my 2nd Gen RX-7 come with a Limited Slip Differential?
Only the following USA model 2nd gen RX-7s had a LSD from the factory:
86-88 GXL
87-91 T2
88 GTU
89-90 GTUs (however not the 89-90 GTU)
It is also rumored that a few rare 91 coupes with both the A (upgraded the interior trim, added a power sunroof, tilt steering wheel, cruise control, and 4 piston front disc brakes and vented single piston rear brakes) and the B package (leather seating, a CD player, and rear cargo cover) came with a LSD, but you should note that Mazda denies that any FC other than the T2 came with a LSD in 91). You can also tell by looking at the differential as there will be a LSD tag on S4 cars with a LSD."
With that cut and paste, the S5 or 89-91 N/As had 4.10 open (non-LSD) diffs. Only the 89-90 GTUs model had a 4.30 ratio and these were viscous LSD. The '88 Vert 5MT had a 3.90 open. T2s had the 4.10 ratio. Further, I've been told by that some S4 GXL automatics had 3.90 LSDs.
