Can you put an LSD diff or axle on an AU that already has traction control?
I know that AUI Fairmont V8s (not Ghias) and AUII and AUIII Falcon Forte V8s (if there is such a thing) had mandatory 3.23 LSDs in lieu of traction control. I know that XR8s and Tickford T3s didn’t have traction control, but the T1 and T2 did. Does that mean that LSDs weren’t available as an option, or were they? Excuse my lack of Tickford knowledge.  I really want to know whether the LSD is compatible with the traction control or not? |

just when you want to actually launch the car, you have to remember to turn the traction control off as any tyre chirp totally kills power to the motor
i HATE the AU's traction control |

I've got both in my AU. Mine was optioned up with an LSD, might have been because of the tow-pack.

An LSD in a Ghia was not even an option ,it's the same with a G6e turbo .
