Default Problem? Diff issue maybe?

Lately ive noticed that at the waterbox at the track, it will only light up one side sometimes, and then later on the 2nd tire kicks in.

However, on dry pavement or wet flat road. If i mash her it will light up both and continue to do so until i let off. Turning a turn if i punch it in the middle of it, it will light up one sometimes, but if punch it right into the turn or right out of the turn, both go.

Is this normal operation for a lsd, or is mine ****ed? thanks

How old is the fluid in there as well? Large capacity diff covers will help keep it cool (heat can cause slippage on an otherwise healthy diff). I've seen what you have described on my friends's supercharged mustang gt a few runs before the rear end blew out. Do you notice a lot more whine than usual?

Fluid was changed before i bought the car, roughly 5 months ago.

Make sure if you have a positraction type that you add the special GM lube to the fluid.
