    Nope your right on the cost vs speed statement. Ill probably stick with whats there unless I come across a unit with a different broken part and piece the 2 together.
    Thanks Jake,

    Steve E and myself had a good conversation about this a while back. torsen v.s clutch they both have there positives. The Torsen should help you around corners as it tq multiplies to the loaded wheel up untill the point the inside tires leaves the ground. You can run thicker or thinner oil to change the tq bias. However if you do lift a wheel on a drive wheel it doesn't matter what your tq bias is becase it is multiplied by zero. Steve has told me that he has modified torsen style units to install clutches to counter act this. He also builds some sick clutch type units.

    Rarely would you have a broken torsen diff, they do wear out, especially if sand gets in there.

    Maybe a gear from another diff would work for you? just a thought.
