Anyone ever see the inside of one and can describe how it works internally? Sounds like there's static locking going on, which goes against how I understand the VLSD to work

My understanding is that the fluid worked reactively through shear forces generated by differences in wheel speed. Making it initially like an open LSD until one wheel spun differently from the other, and then open again when the fluid got hot enough that viscosity fell.
