Diff Is Gone

[SH || NC]

In our discussion, I did ask about ramp rates, and was told that the rates will not change when using the PMNA clutch packs, only more friction and that it will last longer / more durable, which suits me fine for my usage.

I don't think the LSD is holding me back right now, but its not often that I will have the opportunity to have this kind of work done, so its a 'while you're in there' service.

Trying to learn more myself. After the LSD's been driven, especially hard, it will likely lose about 10-15% friction from the initial bench packing. So the tricky part is deciding how to pack the plates to allow for break in while not over packing at the same time.

Similar experience for me with #1 and #2. Luckily I haven't experienced #3. After my initial rebuild the car was tight going into VIR T1 but managable. After a couple of events it lost too much fricition and was re-packed. Then it was VERY tight going into T1 and was difficult to manage. It felt great everywhere except tight corners. I've only driven 1 day on the latest rebuild but assume it will "break in" after a couple of more days. Mid Ohio next weekend

I had the same opinion and diff wasn't high on my list of needs. But now having driven a few events I am surprised how much of a difference it makes with braking stability, putting down power and even stability under modulation (climbing the esses ).

Here's some pictures of my diff
