With a clutch-type LSD, you have to change the clutches once in a while. You also have to change it's oil "often" (versus a gear-type LSD). You don't have that kind of maintenance with a grar-type. You also get a crunching noise when turning at low-speed, as the clutches slips wink1.gif

I have a clutch-type LSD in my car. A clutch-type is good for a high-hp car, and is also more reliable.

A gear-type is good for it's low maintenance, and for most setups.

The Quaiffe is a gear-type, and the Kaaz (what I got) is a clutch-type, as is the MTec.

NO clutch type

My Mtec doesn't make a sound when turning at low speeds.

^^That's good to know because as much as I like modding the car, I don't like too much the mods that affect the every day driving in a way that I feel traveling in my car is like having an old/abused car when I am not driving like a crazy bastard (those times are the ones I enjoy my car the best).

But still, it's nicer to have a mod that doesn't make your car appear to a piece of chunk to the people that knows nothing about cars and climb into your car and after a couple of minutes tell you something like "it has a weird sound when you make a turn" or "your brakes sound really loud, are you sure they are OK" (for example when your brake pads squirk too much). Normally I wouldn't mind about it, but some of those people are really pretty... tongue.gif

I know everyone has disregarded it as a POS, but what type is the phantom grip?

The Phantom Grip isn't a LSD.

It's an adapter that makes your OEM diff act like a LSD.

A bit.

Above like 280 HP it will help your diff explode.

the quaffe is NOT an LSD.. it is a "torque biasing Differntial" the Difference is, if you happen to get one wheel off of the ground, it reverts to an open diff.

With a clutch type LSD, even if you destroy an axle, you are still going to put power to the ground. This is why rally cars uses clutch type diffs and not gear.
