**** oh yeah LSD questions 88 GXL ugh
Well I was in the middle of swapping my Diffs out of my parts car for my Sport since the parts car is a GXL it has an LSD. But when I was removing the half shafts I turned it and the other side turned th other way. Does this mean I have an open diff or I have a worn out clutch LSD? It does take some extra effor than my Sport's shafts to turn with the open diff that I know about. Is there any way to make sure it IS indeed an LSD? I remember a specific Tq spec but it is fuzzy in my head. What is that spec where it is supposed to spin?

Ok well I am going to say **** it and get it anyhow. I have it here so I might aswell try it out. There won't be harm done except time waisted.
I will do some burn outs and see if I get two strips if I don't then I am looking for a miata torsen.

don't just try to get the wheels going.
You should make so one wheel will go easily, like on water, and have the other on dry pavement....see if both spin, if they do it works, it they don't it doesn't
I have an open-end differential, and 99% of the time both brake free at the same time.

holy **** what kind of a dumped is that, a redline dump, you must be smelling some burned clutch.
(correct me if im wrong, but im pretty sure that an LSD turns the other wheel the opposite way.)
No dude they spin the same way

I know that open's can do both wheels if you have SHITTY traction on both.
