Torsen question
Hi , I recently installed a new Torsen lsd ( 0 miles ) because I destroyed the original .
Now with both tires raised off the ground and in neutral , when I move one wheel the other does not move.
If I put the car in gear, when I move one forward the other moves backward.
It is normal ?
I don't remember very well but I think before the two tires were moving in the same direction .

For the wheels to move in the same direction, you'd need an LSD, a spool - or at least a welded up centre. Torsen acts as an open diff with a wheel (or two) off the ground.

Correct - the Torsen needs at least a little resistance to driveshaft torque on both wheels to begin to engage.
