I'm not sure all 940s have them, but many did.
note this is more of a locker than a true LSD... at speeds below 35 MPH, if one wheel spins, the axle locks up. if this happens on dry pavement, for example as a result of hoonery, its pretty harsh and abrupt. the rear axles on all 240/740/940 are based on the Dana 30, as used on older american vehicles. 740/940 axles should be directly interchangable, however, ABS vs non ABS have different 'tone rings' for the speedometer. 240 axles have different suspension and strut mounting hardware so are not directly interchangeble. I think there might also have been a couple different final drive ratios in use, but since the speedometer is electronic and tapped into the axle on these, the only difference is the speed vs rpm tradeoff.
