No fighting
Actually yes, it would drive off the jack, unless the clutch packs were burnt out
Google: How Clutch Type Limited Slip Differentials Work
Good video, only need to watch the video about 1/2 way thru
Earlier in the video he also compares how the gear type limited slip work vs clutch pack type
Also the viscous/gel type LSD, only heard of them once but never new how they worked
Ford and GM used a similar setup
Outer case is bolted to ring gear, and the case is connected to every other clutch plate, so these plates spin at ring gear RPMs
Axles are connected to the in between clutch plates
The clutch plates are press together by the pre-load spring so are locked at that point so both axles spin at ring gear RPMs
Takes about 40ft/lb of torque to spin one axle while holding the other, with friction modifier in the oil, which does show that they are locked, but have "limited" slip
