[Jeffers_21]

Also what are the oem units like?

Gearbox mount is different.

Driveshafts are different. (They are both very similar lengths rather than one shorter than the other)

If you can jack the car up at the front so both wheels are off the floor and spin one wheel, the other wheel will spin the opposite direction.

also if it has an oem lsd you will see the lsd as its mounted outside the box on drivers side

look at the chassis plate under bonnet.

non lsd code will be c52(gt) or c56(glanza)

but the lsd ones will have a "B" after them

true in a sense but whos to know how many different gearboxes have gone into these cars over the years so a visual inspection would be the way to go about this... the trans code will be c56-o2b on a glanza for the lsd model,the non lsd model glanzas have c56-02a as the trans code

They'll spin in the same direction mate, opposite direction would be an open diff.
