Only 784 of these final EL XR8 185 kW versions were made which makes them sought-after on the used market. That is direct from http://www.fpv.com.au/index.asp?link_id=4.127 Quote: your right Daniel ALL EF and EL XR,s had 3.45:1 LSD i think ill take the guy who pulls them apart all day everydays word for it i also seen a 6cyl el fairmont ghia the other day at work and noticed the sticker 3.45 lsd but also it had a factory fitted heavy duty tow bar fitted maybe the diff is part of a tow pack???EF & EL fairmont had 3.23:1 single spinner longreach ute had 3.23 or 3.45 (auto or manual) but lsd was still an option on them even if it had a 3.45:1 hope this helps That's not correct.. |

we have pulled apart plenty of XR's being 6cyl and V8's
every XR6 or XR8 we have pulled apart has had a 3.45:1 lsd with the exeption of the BA that has a 3.46:1 and a EB2 XR8 manual that had a 3.27:1 we have done EF and EL XR8 auto,s and manuals maybe we have just been lucky

yep the sticker will say LSD and look for a tag on the filler plug that says LSD
or if that fails rip a few skids and see if two wheels spin

My Fairmont Ghia is fitted with a heavy duty tow pack. Maybe thats why its 3.45 LSD. Seems I've got a lot of confusion started in this thread.

that'd be a 3.45 LSD - which means you need to use LSD oil! i've been told you can do some damage by not using the correct high-performance diff oil in the LSD's...

Just 90 weight LSD oil. I think castrol calls it LSX90, I could be wrong though
