A viscous coupling IS an LSD, just using fluid mechanics instead of
solid. Its locking ratio can be altered by changing the fluid
viscosity.

My Porsche trans is LSD... can't wait to try it out, if I ever get a
van on the road.

BUT beware... with an LSD you can still get stuck... just more stuck
than without!
