LSD/Positraction ??

I watched alot of videos of people trying to do donuts and it seems to me that there Posi-traction/LSD is failing, and the car is having a difficult time spinning around.

I was just wondering what could cause your LSD/Posi-traction to start slipping.
I've read doing alot of donuts could kill your LSD .......but what are other ways?

I don't believe they were V6's because I know that those cars can't handle the power like the V8's

You're not watching videos of V6's are you...?

Yup, thought so. The V6's don't have a limited-slip differential.

Edit: Except for the 3.7L

clutch packs

That's why you need a heavy duty KR diff. Available exclusively on GT500KR and Bullitt.


(Ford is track-lock - not Chevy's Posi)
