Guys,
Am I missing something (like a working LSD)?

stock is only 25% lock up, so not necessarily all of the time. but looking at the video, i'd expect you to get some motivation from the right rear. Probably worn out.

Have you had both rear wheels off the ground and rotated one wheel with the e brake off in neutral?
If both wheels rotate the same direction you have a limited slip differential.
If the wheels rotate opposite of one another you have a open differential.
If you don't know what I am talking about ask whoever installed the "3.15"

Have someone slowly turn a wheel in one direction. If you can freely turn the other wheel in the other direction without any resistance the clutch is gone. On a bad diff, I could easily turn the output flanges in opposite directions by hand. On a good diff, I could not. There are write-ups on changing the clutches. It doesn't look too complicated.

Seems like fried clutches from the whine.

Yep. So it's just all tired and worn out. Aside from having to remove the diff to do it, the rebuild isn't too bad. Plus, if you want to, you can upgrade the clutch pack to 40% lockup. Jon (5nail5) has info in one of his threads.

Uh, on this one I think not. Generally a broken pinion would make the car not move - the pinion is the input point for power. So I highly doubt it's that (like 99.9995% sure). I'm about that sure it's the clutch pack - the 'whining' that someone mentioned could easily be the clutches slipping and chattering at a high pitch.
OP - do you know how many miles the car the S3.15 came out of had? Still going to end up needing a rebuild, but I'm just curious.
Not sure how many miles in the donor car but I look through my records and can try to find out. Anyone have a good source for new clutch packs? I'm not sure if I need 40% but will look into it more.
Found this...

Thoughts? 2-clutch set gives 25% lock-up and there's a 3-clutch option, which requires some machining, that gives 40% lock-up. I think 25% will be just fine for me.
Also, check out Jon K's AWESOME video here...

Does the s on the case itself mean lsd or is it only a s on the tag?
I seem to remember my 3.15 lsd having a s on the case, but I don't remember the stocker.
