| Re: ZFQ new proposed GT40 transaxle Chris M
Well done on the new transaxle, someone had to do it. The ATB description is good but when recommending limited slip to owners who drive their cars on the road I reckon a little warning should be included.In a car with an open diff (and rear wheel drive) when you apply too much power and break traction the spinning wheel still drives the car forward and eventually will come back to full grip without oversteer.What I experience with lim slips is a slew sideways toward oversteer with any breaking of traction.I have experienced this on the track too, especially when wet. An inexperienced driver on a wet road that has never had a limited slip diff before could be in trouble IMHO. Just thought I'd pass this on, our cars have a lot of power and can break traction easily with the V8 torque (especially on take off).
