I believe the only way to check for a Honda LSD is to look through the diff housing when the transmission is out of the car. If you can see all the way through you have an open diff, and if you can't then it's an LSD. Or...it might be the other way around, I always get stuff like this mixed up.
:chuckles: Or you can always pull a sand test

I think with the LSD, you can't see through, so you're right.
