NOT THE SAME AS

TORSEN Torque-Sensing (Gleason differential that biases torque)

Needless to say, wtz's TORSEN front diff (which is also a helical) works fine with ABS both on the street and on the track.

ok.

So were these LSD's ever made available for the ~$1600 ferrarokid was shooting for?

transfer case

I currently have a bad transfer case (2nd one which lasted all but two weeks)... anything i need to know before asking my dealer to put in an RS tc?

I remember reading that i would probably need to add about $300 to make up for the price difference but i THINK i also read something about some minor modifications and reshimming...

anyone have any input?

From: not here

a torsen is a helical type diff but a helical type is not necessariliy a torsen type. helical also encompasses locking type diffs that are not the same as torsen.

all you should read this thread... https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=94829
