As can be deduced from Mats' post, my above observation was with transmission in neutral. With transmission in gear the opposite wheel spins the opposite direction when I turn one wheel by hand (this LSD has about 50% lock-up). This is just to document how an LSD equipped transaxle behaves, and is not to say that if your transaxle exhibits this behavior then it has LSD!
