Re: diff questions.

Re: diff questions.
The older VLSD's did say so on their data plate.
Genuine 91 SS diff:

SVX:

I have noticed the newer diffs don't have data plates on em. The only way to tell for sure is opening em up. Here's a thread on IDing the internals.

Oh don't worry about asking lots questions so long as you searched first.

Re: diff questions.
The newer style diff's do have some identifying marks on them, but they are not as easy to see.
This only shows the 97 impreza, but you get the idea of where the marks would be....

Re: diff questions.
I looked at the label plate and have a P/N but was unsure of whether mine is open or not, in all probability it is an open diff because it's a stock 94 TW. Was just looking to confirm where the markings would be
