do a burnout with it, if the marks are equal on both sides than its LSD, but if one side dominates than its not. There probably is some way to look at it and determine, but I like the experimental way better

Well if you can install a halfshaft, or whatever it is that goes from the lsd to the wheel, then turn one they should go in the same direction. At least that is what it does on my 90 T2, which has an LSD.

i think it is a LSD, i have been told that if i turn the yoke, and both shafts turn in the same direction, it is lsd, and that is what is happening,

Thanks for the help!

a non-lsd will do the same thing. unless u can hold one of the axles as u turn the yoke and r unable to. the best way would be to put axles in, turn one and the other turns the same direction.
