off the ground and turn either wheel by hand. If the

posi. If the opposite wheel turns in the opposite
direction you have an 'open' differential, no posi.
Sometimes if the posi cluthces are weak or shot the
opposite wheel will not turn at all but you still have
a 'positraction' differential. Adding the positraction
friction modifier additive will sometimes improve a
worn posi.

It is my understanding that it is not good to add "Posi Additive" to a Corvair due to sharing the same oil as the Transmission.
