Dont touch a phantom, pointless.

ATB's are helical, and just like an open diff, if one wheel has no traction then they dont work. They constantly seek 50/50 torque distribution......i dont like they way they drive.

A plate type LSD is what you want.

 

[ben_p]

thats what the gripper is.

i spoke to mr helpful who makes them and he said i nee to pin slot ? my box first and modify a driveshaft before i can fit it LOL

f**k knows.... gearboxs..........i just dont get LOL

Hell i thought my 129mph @ 7200 box was bad lol

 

[hissingsid]

it may of bin 127 mph can't remember lol but it was perfect for rallying, or it also uses standard shafts.

Well it's a 172 box with an avanti lsd and lower geared finnal drive crownwheel and pinon, after using it in 2006 we rebuilt it for the 2007 season into a fresh box but never used it . it was a spare, we run a sadev dogbox now. Price good question it has cost me about £1500 but I would take offers.
