No, there isn't a LSD in the neon. The 04 and 05 srt4's have them, but there aren't any neons that do.

Well technically there are no Neons, SRT-4 or otherwise, that come with a limited slip differential. What most people call an "LSD" are actually Torsen differentials...butfor the sake of everyone we just call them LSD's even though they arent.

But yes, you can add a LSD to the transmission from Quaife, Phantom Grip, or OBX. But I've heard of lots of issues with the OBX and the Phantom only converts your differntial, so its not a real LSD.

ahhhh, ok.


I agree with the fact that Quaife is the only way to go for an LSD.

I'll explain a little more haha...these differentials are not limited slip differentials, instead they are torque sensing/torque biasing differentials (aka Torsen differentials). The term LSD is simply overused to describe a differential that is not "open"...

Do you want a used SOHC head or new SOHC head? Or do you want a new Magnum head or used Magnum head?

i still have a brand new comp 400 camshaft,crane valvesprings/titanium retianers, and aem adjustable cam gear for sale i never got to put in my old r/t. selling them alot cheaper than buying them from a website, if you are still interested in rebuilding your head these parts are perfect.
