Hmm, well that doesn't sound TOO bad. Others have told me in the past that it
can bang and make some unusual noises and that it does affect steer
characteristic. That I can live with - savage, not so much.
I'm hopeful it will be better than my Quaife. The Quaife really does limit
how much power you can get down in right-hand corners. It teaches you to be
as smooth as possible, but there still comes a point when you're lifting that
inside rear wheel and then you've got an open diff.

Here's how I'd describe it:
My GT6 has a welded rear - its behavior is consistent throughout the turn
(like it or not!). Get on the gas early and it's predictable, but not great
for low speed turns.
the TR4 I bought last year has a detroit locker - every time it engaged during
the turn i certainly noticed the trajectory changed. I would describe it as
an on-off switch. I only have one weekend in that car - not enough to judge
yet. Certainly easier to push around the paddock than a welded rear!

one of our local Triumph club members has an oriignal detroit locker in his
race GT6 and he's looking to move back to something less savage, possibly a
torsen/helical type or even a clutch plate type. is there any other diff
centre that can be modifed to fit these housings or does anyone want a
swap??
thanks
Terry
