I tried to post awhile back-when the thread started getting out of hand, but don't think I made it. I have a Phantom Grip on my vintage race car. Bill Perry told me it was essentially a "torque sensi

What Bill says is borne out by my own experience. The Phantom Grip device works like a Torsen diff NOT a clutch plate diff. What this means is that when one wheel trys to rotate faster than the other

Torsen? Gleason? Quaife? Are you trying to pick a fight?! ;-) Be that as it may, why would Bill say that if I lift the inside rear wheel in a turn, the Phantom Grip will no longer provide any benefi

I'll probably get kicked off the list before the day's over, but what the hey!! I don't see why you couldn't limp home, if you wanted to, with or without a Phantom Grip. I'm not sure what good that w

I won't talk about what I don't know, but about what I do know. Chevrolet Trucks use a differential made by Eaton called a G80 Locker. They have a demonstration trailer with rollers on one side to si

It goes to the right because of the "Right Hand Rule" of physics, I think. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-hand_rule Isn't that also why NASCAR turns left? And propellers turn the way they turn?

The open diff will seek to turn the side with the least resistance. If one side is very easy to turn (broken axle) then it won't bother trying to turn the other. If you have a Phantom it will try to

Well, I do know that without the PG, a vigorous launch tends to spin only the right rear tire; With the PG, I can smoke both rear tires simultaneously. _______________________________________________

The Quaife needs residual torque to work so I guess Bill is saying the same thing applies to the Phantom. _______________________________________________ Edit your replies http://www.team.net/archive

That's true for the Quaife but the only time you get that generally is with an airborne wheel or a zero grip road surface. Most of the time in slippery conditions there is some grip however small so

You still don't get it. This is nothing to do with my opinion. The Torsen/Quaife/Phantom Grip does not switch power from one wheel to the other but locks both together. A clutch plate differential sw

I understand that the best way to accomplish a welded diff, is to pour melted lead on the gears to lock them. Then, you can apply heat to remove the lead at a later date, should you so require. Brad

The rules of many racing groups do not allow a welded or limited slip diff. They do not, however, have any limitations on the size of the shims / washers / spacers that you can cram in between the ge

And if they have a Quaife or Phantom Grip and the tech officials use a set of rollers to check the diff is an 'open' diff it won't get detected - only a strip down will establish that. ______________
