limited slip differential.... sweet

Nothing in there was limited slip. LSD = Limited Slip Dif. which is another name for a posi, that was just a model of a regular open diff.

werd

thought open diff, when u spin one wheel, the other wheel spins in the opposite direction??
and lsd was from slip to grip.

THE OTHER WHEEL SPINS IN THE OPPOSITe direction if its in the air. but thats only because the spider gears don't exert enough force to spin the tranny. so they spin against each other.

LSD just means there is some kind of clutch inbetween the spider gears that turns them both together, untill there is enough force to make one spin faster or slower as in turns.
