Has my lsd kicked the bucket????

[200sx SE-aRmed]

Well i had the car finally running great, everything was working perfect, and then i took the car for a couple of runs. As i pulled in after the runs i felt a little vibration in the rear. I backed the car up slowly and felt it again, i then creeped forward slowly and felt it again as i slowed to a stop. I lifted the car and turned the tires backwards and it just vibrates. I can even hold the drive shaft still and turn the tires. Im pretty sure this means my lsd is trashed, right? And also if any one has any suggestions as to whether i should rebuild mine, buy an after market new one, or a used one (j30, q45 ...)? Thanks for any help, ill be crying watching the note book until i get my baby back on the road!

Is it trans or rearend. Disconnect the driveshaft then spin the rear tires on jackstands.

This morning i went out to test the diff again and the vibration was gone. So i ran the car a little around the block and then it started again! However I noticed it only happens when the car is rolling slowly in neutrel. When i let it roll in first gear at idle i cant feel the vibration. Now im not sure its the diff any more. Anyone had this problem? Thanks again.

i've been told that i should change my diff oil after every event, could that be the possible reason, that the oil broke down after a few hard runs?

That is only true for clutch diffs. Viscous and open diffs don't really give a ****,as long as you are running good oil, that isn't as old as the car.
