In the course of my travels I have come across a fresh 901 box with a locked diff in it. I had asked in a previous thread about the merits of an open vs 40% vs 80%. What the diff in a locked diff vs the 80%?
I could get this one for a pretty good price. Maybe it's worth it to have a spare transaxle laying around.... Help me understand. Thanks, Bill |

Brad,
your gonna hate this.. but... I've ran a locked diff for the last 2 years. I would not recommend it on autox... There is some chirping, and A LOT of readjustment. I had to learn quite a different style. I would only use it on bigger tracks, its a bi*** in the tight stuff. On hair pins, I have to ralley style through the corners and literally throw it into a slight slide and catch it at the apex... My times show an improvement, but it took 10 ten track days to get there. Bill.. who has a box for sale with one. I'm interested in a spare if the price is good? brant |
