In Reply to: Thanks, this is interesting... posted by Zandr on June 18, 2000 at 14:38:54:

: : Found this after a bit of searching around...


: Now I wonder if Dinan is the clueless party here, having lifted a wheel, turned it freely (as you can with a Torsen) and decided that the diff was open.

: That's actually one of the limitations of the Torsen, if there's zero resistance on one wheel, it just spins. It takes a little traction on one wheel to get the torque to transfer to the other.

: Thanks for digging this up.
