Differential Identification...???

How can tell if I have a limited slip differential. I guess the normal one calls for GL-5 type fluid. The limited slip calls for something special.

Anybody help?

Sorry, I'm totally unaware of any data concerning the Montero Sport.

Check this link out, it has an on-line FSM for your rig.

Generations are determined by the year of your vehicle.

Texashark.... Looks like you've already swam off, but here's a quick vid showing how you can check and see if your ride has a limited slip differential, just in case you or anybody else is interested:
