Looks like I found more info though <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

I agree it looks hokey, that is why I suggested some of the changes. As they have it - the only "force" you are getting on the side gears is what the springs themselves can supply. This has to be a VERY limited force that would be quite easy to overcome. The oblonged pinion hole I suggested would use the force of the pinion shaft under load to press the halves apart and put a LOT more force on the side gears.

Take that change, find some way to add off-the-shelf LSD friction plates to the side gears and the block surface to eliminate the metal to metal contact, and you could have working LSD that could be made in a decently equiped shop for pretty dang cheap.

Never hurts to think about new things <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />
