    How did you buy the diff? I can't even see reference to it on their website.

    I would imagine no different to standard, possibly less driveline backlash.

    Don't want to ignore our South African brother NAKS question (incase we want to visit and have him put us for the night ) there are animated mechanical clips on the net. I know there are free floating gears in hollows in the casing that can be caused to 'rub' against the sides of the hollow to create friction and force traction to the stationary wheel - never quite understand why the out of control spinning wheel needs a little bit of traction to cause the 'rub' effect to send power to the stationary wheel. One would think the out of control wheel with no traction what so ever would be transmitting large amounts of power through the diff to the stationary wheel - but this doesn't happen.

    Regarding oil, I just assume the same as for the standard diff. Did wonder how reactive heavier or lighter oils might make it - probably relies more on the gear binding with the side of the casing than the oil viscosity, but more viscous oil might increase the time it takes for the gear to travel through the oil (probably adds nano-seconds).

    I was supposed to have bought one a few months back but have had a succession of unexpected expenses that would have bought the centre, a rebuild kit and a set of Maxi low range gears and then some.
    Just the way it goes sometimes.
