Diff types

[Charles Brooks]

Hmm, maybe I was wrong. I always considered "Limited Slip diff" as the one that leaked just enough oil that when I walked by, one foot would slip out from under me and I'd smack my chin on the trunk lid or the bumper.

That's right.  Open is the kind I have scattered around on my garage
floor.  Limited Slip is when there isn't very much oil in it.  Locking is
what happens when an automatic transmission is in park, and Torsen is
named after Mr. Norberg Torsen who invented that special kind of mechanism
(he was Swedish).

This is simple stuff :}
