Hey guys,
Recently my car is behaving a little strange on drifts, like it had an open diff. One wheel seems to spin freely for 1-2s before the second one starts spinning. It started only about a week ago.
It's kind of strange really. I'm thinking my bold summer tires and the cold weather doesn't help, but still. Could something be wrong with my LSD ? I have the factory one with the P31 package.
I'm no expert in mechanics, so your input is welcome
Thanks,
Alex

You have the add on extra option LSD with the P31?
Yes, in Canada the LSD is standard on the Performance Package (one of the reasons why I wanted a Perf Pack !)

Ahh ok, each place has different variations, just wanted to make sure. I'm sure nothing is wrong, mine is having more trouble now getting traction since the weather has dropped too. You could always get the oil swapped out if you are overly worried about it.

LSD is not included in P31.... only for 2009 I believe.
