1990 Positraction!

Does anybody know if the 1990 Firebird Formulas came with Posi, LSD, or a peg leg? Also could a leaky pinion seal cause the posi not to perform? thanks!

LSD and posi are sxame thing, considering the age of it you'd really have to pull thge cover and look to see what you have. pinion seal may casue a posi to fail, it's something you'd want to fix.

I thought that posi was both wheels go all the time, and i though lsd was only when one slips, guess i was wrong? Thats really good to kno that the pinion seal could cause failure, thanks yea i already have the seal, it is a matter of getting the time, Thanks!
