Hello guys!

I need a little help identifying this diff i took of my car today.

I bought it as a vlsd , it had the sticker on the case also and i opened it to shimm it.

Problem is it doesnt look like a vlsd to me.

Can anyone understand what type of diff this is ? I tried to add the shim where i found the stock ones but then after tightening the bolts , the diff cant turn at all.

looks like a viscous to me...after you shim it the axles will turn together...if its binding and not turning at all you have to much tooth engagement from side to side and need to reshim the bearings

Definitely a viscous

Thank you guys i will try adding the one shim and see how it goes.

The thing is that i watched some diy and my diff looked different, it doesnt have those 2 philips screws plus i didnt have to take off the crown wheel to have access inside.

I thought viscous LSD had the little carrier inside that actually contains the viscous fluid and clutches. That looks like a different differential to me.
