put a trolley jack under the diff, lift until both wheels are off the ground, spin one wheel and see if the other follows its direction

the sv6 has a lsd as standard.

also check the diff tag, which is attached to the diff drain bolt. it should say LSD.

You are on the brakes to hard then... slight touch of the brakes traction off, hit the gas...;)
