For a practical understanding put the car on stands and have someone hold one wheel while you turn the other, there will be resistance but the wheel will turn (albeit at a higher torque than a T2). For the same reason that the wheel turns in this scenario it will spin if completely unloaded. The key is to ensure there is no bind in the rear end suspension and that both wheels remain in contact with the black stuff (no matter how fragile the contact might be with the inside wheel).
Take it a step further and (systematically) pull a T2R completely apart (not recommended by Torsen), making sure to note position and clocking of the planetary assembly. After a full afternoon and several head scratching beers you'll work it out. It looks nothing like the drawing you'll find on the internet, which shows all available T2&R options rather than a specific configuration. It will eventually go back together but may require more beers and head scratching plus a contorted expression....
There's an a Eaton and a T2 sitting on my shelf for anyone who misses out on Michael's offer.....
