Do we have vlsd?

Dnguyen211 · Mar 15, 2016

So I have done some Burnouts and found both wheels spinning, sometimes I do them and only one wheel spins, someone told me we have vlsd but do we really? And also what is it in simple terms such as a lsd is when power is always on one wheels and it will give some power to the other free wheel when it feels the free wheel to start to slip?

We have traction control, which is probably what you're feeling.
Our diffs are open.
If you disable the ABS your traction control won't work either.

I disabled tcs both times I did Burnouts and once it made two lines and the other it only made one

The diff is open. I think the only car that came from the factory with a j-series v6 and vlsd was the 03 tl-s, but don't quote me on that.

At any rate, it was never the 6G Accord. All of them are open.

An open differential will spin both tires if the difference in resistance between them is very small (both tires on similar surfaces).

If one of the tires is on lets say gravel and the other is on dry asphalt, the one with least resistance will be the only one spinning in an open differential. That would be the one on gravel.

There is an easy way to check whether or not a differential is equipped with limited slip: Jack up the front of the car so that both wheels are in the air and place the tansmission in neutral, and spin one of the wheels by hand. If the opposite wheel spins in the opposite direction of the one you are spinning, it's open. If the opposite tire spins in the same direction as the one you are turning, you have either a clutch-type or viscous lsd, or the diff has been welded.

I gotta ask: what's with the burnouts?
