Question about LSD in 06 MT
Hi i have an 06 MT and from everything i have read it should have a limited slip diff. Today when i was putting on my aspec lip i tried to test it by jacking one side of the car up and having the other side on the ground. I put it in gear and released the clutch and just the jacked up wheel was spinning.
Has anyone with a 6spd tried this ? I am not sure how the lsd works, maybe this is normal. Let me know what you guys think.

The best way to check the function of the LSD is to follow the process outlined in the OEM shop manual:
Operational Check:
- Block the rear tires and place front end on jack stand (engine off)
- With car in first gear, rotate either front wheel and check that the other wheel rotates in the opposite direction
- If the opposite wheel does not rotate or you cannot spin the wheel, the LSD is faulty and should be replaced
Rotating Torque Check:
- Measure rotating torque with a flex-type torque wrench w/ transmission in neutral, turning the wheel towards the back of the car (measure max torque w/ two full turns).
- Do the same w/ transmission in 1st.
- Calculate rotating torque:
1st gear torque divided by Neutral torque should be greater than or equal to 2.5
- Repeat for other side
- Replace LSD if rotating torque is lower than service limit (2.5).

That's a good way to ruin your LSD. Do not try that again...

Like a regular gear diff, there is still a direct gear connection to the wheels for the Honda LSD. BTW: The Type-R uses the same style diff.
As for ruining the LSD, if you apply to much engine torque with one wheel off the ground, you can break the inner workings. Type-R's are known to kill their OEM LSD's when hopping curbs or jumping rumble strips at full throttle. I don't think you did any damage with your test, I just wouldn't do it again...

About ruining the TypeR, nah it's in perfect health, this year my cousin won the Solo2 Nationals woot, as well as proSolo in it.
