LSD advantages?

[Fiveiron_42]

what's so great about LSD's?

[deevergote]

With the stock open differential, the wheel that has the least resistance gets the power... if one wheel is on ice, and the other wheel is on asphalt, the one on ice will spin... and you'll go nowhere.

LSD makes power go to both wheels (essentially... there are different types that do different things, but that's the idea)

It helps greatly in cornering, where one wheel can be unweighted (the outside wheel in a hard corner has less resistance... you don't want just that spinning!)
It helps greatly in acceleration from a stop, so you don't "peg leg"... as in lose traction and do a one-wheel burnout.
It helps when doing a burnout at the drag strip, so you can properly clean and heat both tires, not just one.

balance of power to both wheels up in front or depending what kind of vehicle you have

LSD or nothing.

Its like a drug once you have it nothing else matters. LOL at LSD's
Helps put power down to the ground for better launching.

Benefits of LSD:

Its better than no LSD in virtually every conceivable situation. If you can get a LSD tranny, do it.

I've never even driven a CB with LSD... The only car I ever had that had LSD was my old Volvo (the low end model 940 GL had LSD!) But that wasn't powerful enough, or in good enough condition, for me to appreciate it.

How do you know if it's a LSD tranny?

[deevergote]

If it's not on the car, you can look straight through a transmission with an open differential.

[mndude07]

There's a list of transmissions in the performance/technical section. Its stickied. That should tell you I think.

How do you know if it's a LSD tranny?

if you jack the car up and spin one wheel by hand, the other wheel will move in the same direction.

Don't you mean the inside wheel? That's the problem that I have. Inside wheel has no weight on it, spins like crazy. Especially when its wet. Certain roads I can slap into second quickly and just spin for hours.

non-LSD ftl.

You don't have to have an LSD tranny to have LSD. You can get an aftermarket LSD like Mfactory, Quaife, OBX, etc. I'm personally going to go with the MFactory LSD, and their final drive.

Yes, inside wheel... brainfart. But yes, the wheel that becomes unloaded is the one that spins.
