I recently fitted one of these to my Mini when I replaced my clutch. Hands down the best mod I’ve done. Expensive if fitting on its own but if you fit it at the same time as a clutch (as I did) it was only an extra hours labour. Lohen fitted a TTV Racing clutch to my car at the same time and it is completely transformed. Rather than understeer, you can feel the car pulling you round corners. It’s ace!!!

With the possible exception of the spring preload that is in the Quaife unit, the EATON Detroit Truetrac seems nearly identical in design. No surprise, there (and we assume no conclusions, either). Point is, if wanting this helical-gear-type limited slip for an application in an American-made vehicle, then, look to EATON and the Truetrac if Quaife does not offer any appropriate application for your vee-hickle. THIS video was terrific. As a nerdy machine appreciator my own self, I gladly watched the manufacturing aspects shown here. There is as I type this an EATON Truetrac being installed in the 8.8 Super 34-spline rear axle in a late-model Ford pickup truck I drive. Can't wait! to bring that home later today. Have been awaiting the release of this particular application for almost two years. Cheers! Thanks again for a fascinating video.

I put a Quaife LSD in my Merkur XR4Ti. What impressed me the most, was how when I would take corners, the inside rear tire, would squeal ever so slightly because it would drag the tiniest bit. I was able, because of this, to corner much much better. Of course my 0-60 time increased greatly and my 60ft time dropped by quite a good margin as to be expected but I never expected the handling to improve as drastically as it did. It was as if the car wasn’t just driving on rails, but GLUED to the rails. Best diff company in the world hands down is Quaife.

I added a Quaife ATB LSD to my '13 Focus ST about 5 years ago. The big plus is it nearly eliminates the prominent torque steer that the stock car has. It definitely helps put the power down on the pavement too. Pulling through corners is much smoother and less hair-raising. It was well worth the money and if I had to choose between the LSD and the MP-275 tune, I'd have to pick the differential.

It has been fun to drive both on the track and on twisty roads - last year I fitted semi slicks on lightweight wheels and felt that they were a major upgrade.. well the diff I fitted this summer was the cherry on top of the cake. Of course - every upgrade supports each other but the diff made it like completely a different car.

Still the car could use a few extra hp now that the suspension and drivetrain is in order :D (and the driver has learned somewhat to drive during the years)

Well done. I had a Tru-Trac differential in the front axle of a 4x4 pickup back in the 80s, but I never really comprehended how it worked so well. It was designed just like the diff you are showcasing here. Your segment showing the color-coded demo was brilliantly explained. No I get how the torque is sent across to the non-slipping axle. BTW, a 4x4 pickup with traction boosting axles is a force to be reckoned with.

Cool vid Pedro!!! I didn't know you were a CNC (cushy 'n' clean) guy originally. I've messed about with friction differentials on RC cars for decades, they're way less complex than geared diffs! But yes, an LSD is something that will make your car acceleryate faster and help you drive safer. Lowering a car won't make it noticeably faster, though you might save fuel, bigger wheels only make it slower and use more fuel (they're heavier and any increase in tyre circumference ups the gearing), so a limited slip diff is a really logical addition that almost no-one thinks about!

How many people realised that a LSD helps with safety and braking.. not just putting power down, but preventing a skid. This video really makes you stand out and that's important. We have all seen exhaust mods and engine ecu maps, for the more experienced viewer we already know changing tyres is more important it will make you faster..... long before you add extreme loads and temperature to components most owners don't even know exist. The trouble is, we all like to think our cars are unique and I have another 45 bhp... over a standard model.... again, with only a little driver tuition in a standard car, you will beat the mod driver every day...not to mention be a lot safer on the road for the rest of us... the general public are to eager, to right of speed as dangerous and yet many of these features when applied correctly are excellent safety features.

Thank you from KSA. I hope I could find a Torsen LSD for WK2 front Diff.

Excellent idea to shoot this video Pete ... am amazed at the time and skill taken to produce these things - but then it is Quaife

Does it help with traction? Those cars can catch inexperienced drivers out

Mr brain!!!!! 😆 Really nice to take the time to learn a bit about stuff I normally don’t bother that much with. Knew there are diffs, knee a LSD was better for power distribution. That was it. Great vid and great to keep it interesting
