Can't be worse than my clutch diff, it binds and pops and bangs and scares old ladies and little children and you can NOT turn and accelerate at the same time without spinning tires (and you can't turn and coast without the thing binding and crabbing and poppopBANGpopBANG)

What you dont like titan! lol Still not sure how to spell tighten? That closer.
All of the Nascar teams run lockers. The rules are open torun what you want. Every single car has a locker. Now i didnt go to this past race and confirm but its been pretty well known to be the diff of choice for a moons age in top level stock cars.

Except that the drop gear mod wasn't in place of doing diffs it was done in addition to the diffs. (IIRC) First Rally: 2001 Driver (7), Co-Driver (44) Drivers (16) Clerk (10), Official (7), Volunteer (4) Cars Built (1), Engines Built (0) Cages Built (0) Last Updated, January 4, 2015

So really all i need is a drop gear and i can forget all my diffs.
how much Tork, sorry Jam do i use when i Titan up the transmission when i'm all done? on a serious note, what does grinding down the ramps do for the Clutch pack LSD Diff? does that make it lock up faster? / more break away torque ? I found a good lead on a cheap (not used in the US) 20 kg center. its phase 1 though. I do have a phase 1 transmision but i found a phase 2 (2002) one with better gears (outback) we may look at moving the gears over to the phase 1 and using 20kg center .. cause i should be able to do it really cheap. Then i'll have 20kg center, and a subaru mechanical LSD rear . i think its a 1-way |

To lock the diff under accel/decel, the pinion stub shaft tries to split the carrier via the ramps and the carrier pushes on the clutch packs. If you look at it from overhead so the clutch packs look like vertical lines and the carrier is split in the middle you can see in your head how it works. Now take the extreme case, a ramp angle of 90*, if you look at it from overhead, that's essentially a "shelf" and pushing on it won't split the carrier. So as you lower the angle, it's going to push on the clutch packs harder. And you can probably figure out that the angles on one side of the shaft are for accel and the on the other side are for decel. If you have a 90* angle on one side, it's a 1-way diff, there's no dynamic lockup in that force direction which usually is decel. I even found a pic of a Ralliart diff where you can see the gear shaft peeking through and the ramp angles: All this has nothing to do with breakaway torque. The clutch pack will have some sort of spring arrangement helical or belleville that will pre-load the clutch packs that in part determines breakaway torque. Obviously the friction of the clutch packs matter, you can put shims or more discs to up the breakaway torque, etc.. And as an aside, the salisbury diff is clever as shit. Edited 3 time(s).

Ah, gotcha. now that is very cool.
so on a 1-way one side would have an angle and the other is gonna be a 90 degree "ramp" but you can grind that into some sorta angle and then its a 2-way? (or perhaps its a 1.5 way if you only added a little bit of ramp) I believe 1 of the 3 clutch pack R160s i have is a 2-way . From the picture and awesome information sharing above i should be able to figure that out very easily if i just take them apart . or take the LSD part out of the carrier ... I guess the Ideal thing to do would be for me to actually try out both and see if i Like the locking under Decel/braking or not. ... and an other Question (maybe dumb) would a 1-way or a 2-way last longer in-between rebuilds ? I would think the 1-Way would last longer due to paved Transits . every time i'm deceling or braking (maybe to go around a highway off ramp) the 2-way is trying to lock up , and if the paved friction is higher than the break away TQ its not going to be able to, but it will try (thus wearing down) where as the 1-way won't be trying to do anything under Decel/ brake/ coast and should only be wearing out when i'm on the gas, turning, and too much grip forces the lsd to differentiate output speeds . |

Nice piccie. here's looking inside: The side gears, planet gears and cross shafts are all nestled in the 2 "Pressure rings". Pressure rings have lugs splining them to the case which you can see in the square form grooves...---and in modern stuff---like last12-14 years you may have shorter "big fawkin teeth----like 4 groups of gigantor splines with a 45* PA which is way better-er-er cause they can be shorter (leaving more area for friction on the discs and plates and for drastically less stress from the 45* thing vs the 90* which makes stresses in the L of the plate..) Like this: SEE drive and coast ramp angles in 120'clock ish position So the power flow comes in from ring gear--which is bolted (most of the time except sometime in my Saab) to the diff case and the ring gear goes ----> that moves the case ----> and the cross shaft pushing on the ramps pushes them this way V and that way ^ and that pushes on the clutch discs and plates---which are splined to the side gears into which we have half shafts plugged in.. Changing the angle of the notches---ramps in the pressure rings---changes the rate the cross shaft ride up them and hence rate and max lock up effect... In the beginning there was the 45* pressure angle---makes a 90* angle seen from above... Then in mid 70s Ford came up with 30* PA "pressure angle" for a harder lock and Escort dominated... When the mid 90s came along and much of the rally world did mostly asphalt and people saw how nicely "active" diffs worked (bazzillion dollar clutch plate diffs with elector-hydraulic pressure varying according to what some genius tech nerd decided was needed), and they worked especially well on asphalt, the idea of alternate angles on COAST was introduced so the asphalt guys could get nicer turn in and then progressive lock up on exits.. Interestingly in the years Tommi Mäkinen was being Tomi, Team Manager and ex-Dubya Aresey drive Andrew Cowan of Ralli-Art fame was axed about if they were using active diffs all over 9gotta be some "trick" to 'splain Tomi"s results) and he said "No, clutch plate rear and front" When questioned like "Huh? No active, Oh Noez!!!" he siad "It may not be the most sophisticated set up, but with a clutch plate diff, you know what you have." After all the infinite wisdom generously shared here by people far smarter than Cowan, and far faster than Mäkinen, I look back and can't help wonder how virtually all the world has been fooled into wasting time on Salisbury type diffs when it's been proven right here that lockers are the best set up?

Well then that is even more idiotic and unnecessary. But it was on the internet so it must be the hot ticket... |

You can swap center diff sections back and forth between phase 1 and 2 transmissions, it's a direct bolt up either way. The only thing you have to watch out for is the transfer gear situation. The early center diff section uses 1:1 transfer gears so it's not going to work for an early WRX unless you're using the same R&P ratios fron and rear. A phase 2 gearset will not work in a phase 1 transmission case because they moved the position of the reverse idler gear by 1mm and shit won't mesh. |

wow you just saved me (well mostly my crew chief) a lot of wrenching time .
our phase 2 transmission is a 2002 Outback far as i can tell it does the normal 1:1 transfer gears as both its front and rear FD ratios are 4.11 thanks mr Clarkinen I'll be getting a slightly longer 1st and 2nd gear , and a much shorter 5th by moving over to the outback transmission. i **think** the gears are slightly wider and there for maybe stronger as well. but it was a free upgrade for me (also gives me a spare transmission) so i jumped @ the chance. |

Test and trial there amigo. Back in the 90's teams were running over 100k kilometers in testing alone. And in group A, some cars were so sad that if it werent for active diffs they werent drivable in anything twisty and slow.... *cough**cough* escort cosworth*cough* by 94/95 Ford HAD to go active cause the escort was shite... understeering just as bad as the Saphire 5 years before. Not true, they had active center and fronts, he only started winning rallies with the Evo in 96 and by then everybody was on it. |
