Nissan Repair: Do I have limited slip differential in my Nissan Altima, nissan altima gxe, cv axles


Question
I have a 1993 nissan Altima GXE.  On the door pillar it says Transmission RE4F04A.  Is this the limited slip model?  I need to change the CV Axles, but do not know what type of tranny this is.  It is an automatic with overdrive.

Answer
I do not know off the top of my head.  Put the front end on jacks and put the transmission in neutral.  Spin the wheel on the drivers side and see if the passenger wheel moves in the same direction.  If it does you have a limited slip.  If it sits there or spins backwards you have an open differential.
