they had a zexel torsen? Yes, torsen consists of worm gears. a locker isnt the same as a torsen. and a Torsen is one of the best LSDs out there. I believe it is very similar, if not identical to how a trutrac works.

correct me if Im wrong.

He could have an Auburn, depending on if it is an early build '99 or not??

hay thanks alot for the responses guys, and if im not mistaken if i had the auborn i think i would have a bunch of yellow springs and stuff i dont remember seeing those, but thanks anyways guys

It's really not a limited slip. It's either engaged or not and there are not clutches; it's all mechanical. But I don't know that it's technically a "locker".

If you ever have one tire break loose and spin and not the other, such as when turning a corner or in water, it's a torsen (or an auburn with totally shot clutches). If both always spin no matter the circumstances, it's an auburn.

^^^^^yeah my auburn never unlocks you would think it was an old detroit locker or somthing......
to the op place a jack under the rear were both tires are off the ground put the car in gear....if you can spin either wheel you have a torsen....if you cant its an auburn....

ohh well yea i hav a torsen then when i spin one wheel the other wheel doesent move or do anything!! but its the torson is there any way this differnsial will break for any reason, for example running drag radials at the track or power brake or doin donuts!!!

is it true that 98's hav an auborn differnsial?

dailydriver

YES, this is what they came from the factory with, as well as some of the early build dated '99s (I believe). I always thought that ALL of the '99s still had the Auburn (until others on here told me otherwise), since I remember the "new and improved" page of the dealer's catalog for the 2000s listed the Torsen starting with that year (when I bought mine new).

so is the auborn better then my zexal torsen???

I always thought Torsens are superior. I dunno how your torsen spun only one wheel, the worm gears must have been broken or something.

naw my torson works fine! but i notice when i do a powerbrake the car slides a bit to the left and stays at that certain angle is this normal?
