Thanks
It sounds like an open diff to me. By simply jacking up and turning one wheel by hand, you would unlikely be able to spin it and observe opposite turning with even a worn out lsd, at least not without some effort.
If it were present and even somewhat functional, the wheels would not turn at all unless the tranny is in neutral. Only then would they spin together.
