I think there are RWD cars with low enough torque to be unable to break traction in a turn. What about my 1982 225 CID Dodge W150 when in 2wd mode and fully loaded? what about the 1979 Datsun 210 wagon with 1.4? what about 7 ton capacity dump trucks with 4-53 2 stroke diesels?

[@robertjolley4354]

I’ve been an automotive master technician for 20 years and this video does a good job of explaining a subject a lot of people have a hard time understanding. Everyone wants to weld the differential until they realize you can only drive it in a straight line to keep it from breaking.

[@177SCmaro]

I had a spool in my race car (manual steering box, btw) for a few years and it was awesome on the drag strip but sucked royally everywhere else. Especially with slicks the car seemed to go through agony every time it had to make a sharp turn. The fact that our strip has two 180 degree turns, one on one off, colored my attitude towards them somewhat. I've since got a Detroit locker and it's so much easier on tires and the car. I don't feel like he frame is trying to twist in half anymore.

[@robertwood9572]

I daily a diesel Ford pickup with welded diffs in both axles. Unlock the front hubs before you drive anywhere and it’s literally not an issue. Since I’ve welded them that trucks put 20k miles on the odometer.

[@oldowl4290]

Can I ask you a question? I have a really nice 2015 XB 5-spd. Actually the last one off production. I thought it came stock with an LSD but from what I've found it's probably and Open diff. Is it really worth it to upgrade? I have a full shop at my house, have done engine rebuilds before and clutches but not a diff yet. I've also read that to really get the benefit you should supercharge or turbo the car, otherwise it's a waste of time and money. Would that be your consensus. It is a box lol, but it's actually got every Toyota/TRD aftermarket part available. I bought it at 40k miles and the original owner had really dialed it in save for engine/trans mods.

[@chaoslord8918]

Differentials are probably one of my favorite car engineering things to understand, and this video does a good job of explaining it. I have an RC car that's 4WD, open differentials front and back... until the rear diff stripped out, so I filled it with JB Weld. It's also great for explaining differentials.

[@S85B50Engine]

For offroading, many offroad vehicles have a system that locks the differentials letting you have all the advantages of open diffs and the traction of welded diffs when you need to be in a loose surface.

Lego: I went to a school, which was like a car economic school, with also a lot of technical theory.

Me, economical and a Lego Technics kid was good in both, because of Lego. I immediately understood steering cinstructions, differentials, the lot.

NOW I FINALLY UNDERSTAND UNDER/OVERSTEER, THANK YOU.

[@BradGryphonn]

I was a truck driver for many years, and most vehicles I'd ever driven (truck or car) on unsealed roads were rear-wheel drive. Therefore, I got used to how those types of vehicles reacted on said roads. In the 90s, I started working for a company that made urgent deliveries to coal mines West of where I lived. One day I was in a small, front-wheel drive car delivering some small, yet extremely urgent parts to a mine, along a loose gravel haul road. The haul road was wide. Probably about 50 metres (approx 150 feet) I guess. I was tooling along in this little car at about 120kmh and came to a long, sweeping bend. As I entered I backed off a little and the car stopped following the bend and decided to start skating across the gravel. Now, in a rear-wheel drive vehicle that wouldn't happen due to the inertia of the rear, and if it did, you just give it time to correct before adding any 'gas'. So, I stayed off the gas and the car kept sliding along. I then remembered some side comment I'd heard from a bloke who I knew who played with FWD cars. "If you back off too much, they just slide, so you need to feather the power as you corner..." So I gave it some power and it started to pull itself around the bend. I used the whole arc of the bend, and thank the gods there wasn't a haul truck coming down that side, but I got it back on line. Lesson learned.

3:15 : Viewer, please note: "allows two wheels *on the same axle* to rotate with different speeds." Very important bit! A differential is required for two wheels to move at different speeds _only if the two wheels are on the same axle_ . If they are _not_ on the same axle, not only do they not _need_ a differential, they can not even _have_ one! (The moment you connect a differential between two unrelated wheels, they immediatelly acquire a _common axle_ )

Many years ago a Mk1 MR2 took out my Mk3 Fiesta while it was parked at the roadside outside my house on a main road. The MR2 was doing 60+ Mph when it hit, it scooped up my fiesta with its low nose and my car went up the bonnet and the front edge of the roof, ripping them off while going airbourne and flying for around 120ft. My car was bent up from the rear as well as sideways and also twisted with huge kinks in the roof and the impact force was so great that not a single switch, clock, vent ect remained in the dashboard and it also sent a shock through the car violent enough to break the water pump! The MR2 veered off to the left, smashing through a wall and falling down steep drop off, it was utterly destroyed. The passenger who's side took the bulk of the impact with my car was in a real bad way but ran off down the road pouring blood as he was having an affair with the woman who was driving the car and did not want to be caught with her. Scary thing is that I always sat in my car for around 20mins when I got home but was early home by about 10 mins, had I have got home when I would have normally, I would have been sat in my car when it was hit!

Just saw this video today and thanks for the new upload. I think I was the main reason you took your version 1 down and this is correct, but I doubt the Miata-theory. According to a BMW E36 Cup driver (150 hp) they would all weld their open diffs if it's allowed, but it isn't. I was racing e-Karts on the Nürburgring and even those heavy karts corner great with a spool as well as Quads. You just drive so fast that the inner wheels lift off a bit and allow the slip😁 On the other hand there are open diff race-series like Formula BMW, Ford, Vee, Skip Barber, F4 and even the Praga Cup. Not sure if it's and advantage or a mandatory handicap.

Quaife is great in my book. I got a Quaife sequential for my 06evo mr. The tuning and getting everything to jive with the aftermarket ecu is key. It is tame enough to drive casually but is in its element when literally banging gears. Clutch obviously for starting and stopping but having the spark cut at the perfect time and time duration is key to a solid, smooth but quick engaging shift. I was able to go with a slightly bigger turbo but was also more efficient because I don’t lose boost between shifts. It definitely turned the car into an entirely different animal. I’m still at just over 500awhp for daily but can go up to about 900 turned up. The 500 now feels more like 600 compared to what it was rowing gears. Never out of boost while on it until you let out. So much faster then before. A quality product that in my case at the time it was also the cheapest.

[@silentagony1019]

Watching this makes me want to learn more about automotive

[@winner200playz3]

one thing that I would like to mention about the downside of a welded diff is that during a corner exit the driven tires are not only accelerating the vehicle but also keeping it from sliding sideways (on a fwd car this will result in understeer and a rwd will result in oversteer). On a welded diff the inner wheel will spin so you also lose that sideways grip keeping your car from spinning out, even though you may have better acceleration. On the lsd the inner wheel will spin less and maintain that sideways grip and keep your car on the road. That loss of sideways grip is also what makes welded diffs good for drifting, you want to lose that sideways grip and get things spinning.

[@177SCmaro]

If you want something in between a welded diff (spool) and a LSD, there is also a locking differential (often called a "Detroit Locker"). Going straight it acts like a welded diff/spool but in a corner at low input torque it unlocks and acts like an open diff. Just be careful as too much input torque (too much throttle) can cause the diff to lock in a corner and the car to "jump" or become unstable/unpredictable. This can be especially dangerous on ice. These types of differentials are great for drag racing and can be used on the street so long as you don't get crazy.

[@commentsedited]

Not sure what you have? Jack up the rear axel and turn the tire. If the other side turns the same direction. It's limited slip. If they turn opposite. It's a 1 tracker.

[@Ampex196]

Well done for your clear explanations that get the basic principles across in an easy to understand manner. I've only owned one car with an LSD (Ford Capri 2.8 Inj. Special). It was very useful in wet conditions where you could 'feel' it 'clutch up' mid bend. Not quite as helpful in heavy snow/ice conditions. Neverthess, I managed to drive it through a dire winter situation where modern FWD cars were giving up - thereby causing additional mayhem by blocking the road.

[@shawnalbarghouthi4113]

As usual, you are nothing less than impressive. Really, the words aren’t enough. Thank you sir

[@792bnz]

In beamng drive, the welded diff is the best for drag racing. You get 1 to 2 car lengths on launch easily over other diffs if you set up the gears and grip correctly

[@gtrulez]

Nice video👍🏻 I bought a Quaife helical front lsd for my Nissan Skyline R33 GTR V-spec, simular to your new diff for the MR2. One of the reasons why i went helical is because it doesn't need maintenance wich is exactly what i need, for the front diff is actually located in the oil pan of the engine, and it can't be accessed when the engine is still in the car. So if it needed maintenance the whole engine has to be taken out or the front subframe dropped.🙈 the car is being track driven and will get a brand new 750~800hp RB28DET engine. So in order to improve traction and reduce understeer the front open diff will be replaced with a helical lsd from quaife. I'm really hyped about it, cause the gtr already was a maniac out of corner exits😁 it has a electronic controlled torque split mid diff in the gearbox and a active rear lsd from factory. Also the helical type is much smoother in operation than a clutch type diff, wich was another reason to go for a quaife helical. I cant wait for the next video about diffs! 👍🏻

[@MegaJoojee]

There is actually an old video from like 50's where they explain wery well what the gear differential is. Highly recommend to watch it, its around 15-20 min long.

[@enricodilorenzo4453]

Your cover picture shows a picture of a Ford 9.75 LSD as “Open”. There are clutches behind those side gears. You probably expect to see a spring between the Side gears.

super clear, I remember when I was twenty it got some time to solve the clue unfortunately today it's all demanded to electronic and torque vectoring systems (mostly) that's also why today Toyota Yaris GR got so much attention (Quaife is today benchmark of torsen (torquesensing) type LSD differential, good choice)

[@d4a]

Glad to hear that, thanks for watching. Cc? You mean displacement?

[@pr0xZen]

Also worth noting is weight shifting to the rear means less traction on your front steering wheels. If those are also your driving (powered) wheels, it will take even less torque for them to start slipping, inducing extensive understeer. This is also why FWD cars torque steer.

[@RavilleAhmedov]

Rear wheel drive platform which can't break traction on rear wheels is the Suzuki Jimny key 0,66 i3 with AT. 60 horse power engine and slipping AT can't slip anything even the mud. Drives actually great on slippery surfaces.

[@jesterben1]

The Torsen diff is a torque biasing diff. Same as the Quaife. It'll work fine until one wheel loses grip completely.

[@blazbohinc4964]

Thanks for the explanation. So basically - An LSD of this sort needs at least some grip on one of the wheels in order to provide any torque to the other wheel. If you have zero grip on one wheel, it behaves like an open diff.

[@StagnantMizu]

Open Differential: Functionality: An open differential is the most common type found in most vehicles. It allows the wheels to rotate at different speeds, which is essential for smooth turns. Operation: When one wheel encounters less traction than the other, the open differential sends more power to the wheel with less resistance. While effective for regular driving, it may not provide optimal traction in certain situations, such as off-road or high-performance driving. Welded Differential: Modification: A welded differential is a modification where the gears inside the differential are physically welded together. This eliminates the ability of the wheels to rotate at different speeds. Functionality: The welded differential essentially forces both wheels to rotate at the same speed. While this modification is inexpensive, it can make turning challenging, especially on surfaces with different traction levels for each wheel. Limited-Slip Differential (LSD): Functionality: A limited-slip differential is designed to address some of the limitations of an open differential. It allows some differentiation in wheel speeds but provides more traction than an open diff. Operation: LSD uses various mechanisms to limit the speed difference between the two wheels. There are different types of LSDs, including mechanical LSDs that use gears, viscous LSDs with a fluid coupling, and electronic LSDs that use sensors and actuators for precise control.
