I am looking for opinions on the following LSD unit.
The unit works in a similar way to the Torsen type BUT it has a built in 80% locking system. Judging opinion from many www motorsport forums the main problem with current torsen type LSD is when traction is lost on one wheel, the diff in effect loses drive from one side as it transfers torque to the opposite side.
This LSD has the benefit of progressively locking the wheel with lost traction and keeping both wheels driving.
I am told they are currently in production for various OE applications including Lotus and pic is for a Hewland trans.Porsche,Ferrari and Lamborghini application have apparently already been made.
Audi units can be made in small quantities but pricewise they are quite high at around the 1150.00 GBP mark, hence the opinion gathering as to whether the high price would justify any possible benefits ?
Thanks for your time.
