Yes and no. They are not clutch activated ltd slips, but are not true
lockers either.

Re: Changing transmission lube
 
I misread his question. I was refering to the ltd. slip. They are a gear
ltd. slip, not a clutch activated version. I re-read Jeff's question and
to answer correctly, they have both, ltd. slip and the switchable lockers.
