vlsd locked up like weldded

[Slikk Logic]

so i jus shimmed a junkyard vlsd .very slightly jus a .80..and then installed it into my s14 which had a open diff..my prob is the dam thing is acting lyk a welded diff right now.skipping round turns..i did figure 8s n then jus started doint dounts and drifts still locked all night ..even by hand when i 1st got it.i couldnt turn it by hand oppisite which i thought was normal and if u pop the longer side of the axle out the spider gears flow freely lyk a open diff
wtf.help!

The whole point to shimming the VLSD is so it would lock up like a welded diff.

And if you didn't want it "fully locked", then you probably should have measured everything and have gotten the right sized shim. The shim that you got is probably still way too thick.
