I have an 04 scab stx with limited slip, I got stuck in my driveway only one wheel was spinning (Alot ) until I finally moved about a foot then they both went, is that normal

 

Limited slip means just that, the wheels aren't locked together. You would need a locker for that. The wheels will slip under certain conditions, such as one wheel on ice and the other on asphalt. If you stomped the throttle when trying to get yourself out you would have overpowered the clutches and the wheel with the least grip would have started to spin.

 

One way to prevent this is to add a little brake to help slow the wheel that is spinning and make the other one go.

 

That and/or shift to a lower gear to keep wheel speed to a minimum. When one wheel stops spinning the other one spins twice as fast. You will burn up the clutches if you stay on the throttle too long.

 

I'd love to see your driveway! sheesh! yeah just throw it into 1 and then give it a lil gas and it'll prolly work it a little better

 

That is one downfall of the switch from GM to Ford. The locker rear end they have works very well. But, then again....I like switching to 4wd, and fords poor limited slip has given me reason to several times already.

If that happens, apply the parking brake a few clicks in, not just the brake. It will apply constant pressure to both sides. There are several ways to test your limited slip and the ramp test is one of them.
