LSD??

Does anyone make a limited slip differential for the VOLKSWAGEN transmission? If so, how would I get in touch with them?
Thanks

According to VSWtrans serial number cross reference - some came stock with LSD

I imagine that Marty drives on LSD from time to time :-)

If your VW shop does any kind of racing business, they might have trans cases lying around that lend themselves to pro-street use. Welded spider gears and LSD is a pretty common VW mod for the cars here in the Mid-Atlantic.

I heard a rumor once that Ron Luumus Racing had a stash of '63 Beetle gearboxes for that exact purpose.

Don't confuse limited slip differentials with super diff units....Super diffs are machined from alloy steel with added strength in critical areas, but do not give limited slip operation....

ZF made a true LSD installed in some VWs back in the day- they sometimes show up on the Samba, usually for north of $1K. I picked one up a couple of years ago, and had Rancho put a new clutch-pack in it and install it in my transaxle last winter.

Quaffe makes a new TBD (Torque Biasing Differential), which can be bought from various transmission rebuilders, but nobody is currently making a new true LSD. Paul from Guard's Transaxles could (and would), if he could get 10 guys to pony up about $2K (each) for a run of them.

If you want to play, you'll need to pay.

Here is a further link on the lsd topic. There is also a photo link in one of the posts,, but I can not access anything, perhaps someone else can. Alan
