don't have to hold it... turn one wheel if the other wheel turns in the same direction it's an LSD if it goes in the other direction it's an open diff.
Or better yet... hold you're rpm ~6000 and drop the clutch in 1st... go back if you see one tire mark it's open two tire marks it's LSD.

I found this on the FAQ page and it made me laugh!

Fun way to check:
Pull the car so one wheel is on your neighbors' front lawn, rev the engine and dump the clutch, check for two tire marks, if you got both, then you're LSD, if you only tore up the lawn, you're open.

I do belive I read some where mazda was having problem with the LSD and some got replaced with a non lsd carrier. We found out a GSl we got for a parts car had disk and non LSD.
