Yes, they work both ways.
Although, reverse to forward gear "drops" (for smoking the tires really good
or getting unstuck offroad) are very detrimental to the clutch retainers.
They break and cause all sorts of issues with the ring gear, pinion gear,
bearings, and sometimes even the case (hard "clunks" or chatter on turns are
normally the sign of a broken clutch retainer). I replace more diffs (case,
ring/pinion) due to this...especially on the 9.25's.

Subject: DML: Do LSDs work in reverse?
I have the stock 3.55 limited slip rear diff, and while I understand
basically
how it works, I came up with this question the other night and can't answer
it. Does the limitted slip only work going forward, or does it work when in
reverse as well?
