Limited-Slip on/off button?!?! Hey guys great site, a lot of good info on here. 
I just bought my first LS1, a '99 SS Camaro M6sweeeet!!!! Anyways, the guy I'm buying it from told me that it has a button on the dash that turns the limited-slip "on" or "off". Is this true? I read on here that '99+ came with the Zexel Torsen differential, but I never heard off a button that enables or disables the limited-slip.

ha, yea I agree...
I know the car does have "Traction Control" so that's what I figured the button was, but the seller said, "no, it's turns the limited-slip differential on and off." I'm guessing he meant to say "traction control" instead said limited-slip. thanks guys

you can't disable the limited slip...unless do blow it up, which happens every once in a while. you got an M6, you might find out
You just LOVE bashing M6's dont you?
I think almost every thread I read, you have something negative to say about the t56, and you love your 4 speed slushbox. Get a life, stop bashing.

He wasn't bashing, don't be so sensetive, your transmission is just fine, don't worry.
And I don't know what you guys are talking about, I can turn my limited slip on and off whenever I want to, and my ls1 turns 4 cylinders off when Im cruising, saves on gas..

It does nothing to affect your timing, and it can be turned off with the button...
I hope this helped some, I feel bad that so many guys were trying to help you out, but obviously many of them NEED to buy a real GM manual for their cars (and READ it).
Why bother to give advice if you are just 'guessing' anyway?

I removed the relay from the fuse box for ASR. I got sick of shutting it off. FYI, SLP sells something that changes its default to off rather than on when you turn on the car.
ASR is most useful if driving on black ice or when ur car hydroplanes. Dry pavement its not so handy, unless you want to do a pathetic burnout.
The diff is purely mechanical.

also saved my *** a few times too. And i just wanted to mention, i looked through the lastest Demo version in EFI Live tonite and it has a tab under "ASR" It actually pulls helatious timing to cut power in conjuction with the above mentioned stuff by BigDaddy. And no, i am not talking about Torque Management, the ASR function actually pulls a big *** amount of timing depending on RPMs and stuff to cut back on wheelspin. I Tought that was cool that you can **** with that through tuning. And 00Pewter SS, so everything will work fine if you just remove the relay for ASR from the fuse box?? i will do this at the track then cause i hate stop/starting the car, then going to the burnout box and forgetting to press the button each time haha.

In a manual I depress the clutch to save myself when the stupidity gets outta hand.
I yanked the relay a year ago and don't see any problems. ABS etc functions normally (as far as I know). The ASR light on the dash will be on all the time. I don't know how the SLP thing works, it isn't just a resistor cause you can still turn on ASR, it just defaults it to off when you start the car instead of on.
And yeah ASR pulls spark timing and I believe it will also hit the brakes if the tire spin continues. Some systems do one or the other or both, I don't know which ours has.

Anyway, I apolize if you took anything I posted as offensive, it is hard to read someones intentions on a board.
