Can someone confirm that when you turn an axle on a MR2 LSD, the other axle will spin the same direction. And on an open diff. they will spin opposing each other.

Most likely someone before you put an LSD in it. I know that if i have the car up on stands and i turn one wheel... the other turns in the same direction. When I was working with the open diff.. holding it in my hand I put finger in one side turned it and the other side went the opposite direction.

Some diff's won't lock up until there is a force applied like when driving..

The only way to truly test it I believe.. would be to put the front end up.. make sure u use a lot of jack stands under and on the sides of the car.. then start it.. put it into first gear.. you can let the clutch up and the wheels will just turn with the engine.. it won't stall. So get out then and try to stop one of the wheels with your hand.. don't be dumb about this obviously.. but on an open diff you will be able to stop one while the other still turns.. on an LSD you shouldn't be able to do this. Correct me if I'm wrong.. I usually learn things by trying and I've never tried to do that because I knew I had a VLSD to begin with.
