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?

 

Either way it means you don;t want it... A lsd would turn both wheels the same direction

 

correct me if im wrong, but im pretty sure that an LSD turns the other wheel the opposite way.

 

Im sure that it takes a little more than the spin of a hand to engage the clutchmechanism inside

 

the clutches may be worn out. Not cheap to repair either.

 

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.

 

Are your tires crappy? lol

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

 

Yeah, my '84 S model can break both wheels with ease and only ~101HP. However, that's because I have those skinny 13" factory tires on it still.

 

Well the LSD is fine. I made sure of that with some wheels and tires I didn't need anymore. I laid down a good set of strips. I dumped the clutch from 7200 It feels wierd though smooth.

 

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

Nope, about 85% tread on both. They are a pretty soft ruber, and im lucky if i can even brake them free.
