it would drive okay ,you would have to jack one wheel at time to check transmission stops it turning

thought the vc had to spin up a few rpm to lock, might be tricky by hand??
I agree the method is good for manual locking diffs- used it on the 72 but wasnt sure on the later v/c ones.

you try and turn one there dont spin they transfer a good few pounds torque before locking up ,you need good pull on 3fr breaker bar to turn wheel so good enouigh to test axle parts ,
