Default Re: Rear Differential...with all the recent talk

Like leadfoot said, open diffs NEVER spin both tires at once, and often just roast one tire, not switch between the two. Please go on youtube, streetfire and myspace tv and search crossfire burnout if you think its an open diff. and like I said, I'll test it out once I get my car.
I'm sorry, downwardspiral, but the differential is open. There are no worm gears, no clutch plate, no nothing. There's just a big empty space between the two axle drive gears, the main ring, and the mating gear between the axle drive gears.

Sorry.
