With the limited slip, both wheels would spin, so even if you don't have any traction with one wheel, you will still get some traction from the other. The easiest way to tell while the diff is out of the car is to pull the cover off and take a look. If there is a spring in the middle of the diff, it is limited slip. If there isn't, then its open.

I thought our lsd's were of the viscous type?
