Please Guide Me!!! Would someone please guide me to a site or something that would tell me the difference between a posi and a LSD. Also a site that would explain how a T-brake works. Thank you very much. Nathan

Re: Please Guide Me!!! A "posi unit" and "limited slip"...same thing just too different ways to word it.
A spool, on the other hand, allows NO differential in speed between the axles.
A T-brake basically engages 1st and reverse at the same time. Since they are the same ratio the net effect is zero power going to the output shaft no matter how much throttle is applied. When the T-brake button is release the reverse part of the equation is also released which = SUDDEN forward momentum! <img src="images/icons/shocked.gif" border="0">
