Do you mean a viscous clutch LSD? Having an LSD (Limited Slip Differential) makes drifting much easier to start and maintain than the stock open differential. From what I've seen when you have an open diff and both wheels are spinning, if one gains traction, then the wheel with the least traction will steal most of the torque. on a LSD if one wheel gains traction then the LSD will give more power to that wheel hopefully allowing it to keep free spinning. On most AE86s drivers will put in TRD 1.5 LSDs and ultimately LSDs will allow a more continual drift vs open or locked diffs. ;)

Do you need expensive equipment for drifting?

Quite simply, the answer is no. While there is no doubt better equipment will make the task easier, you basically need RWD vehicle with LSD or locked diff in it. Drifting an open diff car is very hard and almost impossible.

How can I tell if my differential is a posi trac?

Jack one side of the car until the tire is free to turn. If it will not rotate with the trans in neutral (brakes released), the differential is a (sure grip) (limited slip). If the wheel rotates it indicates an 'open' differential..Jack one side of the car until the tire is free to turn.

What is a open differential?

"Open" differential is non~limited slip or non positraction. They are less expensive and if you get one wheel stuck only the free one will spin. There are no advantages that I am aware of to have one. On the contrary, it's easier to get stuck.


What is better an open differential or Posi rear end?

It depends on the application. Posi is good for straight track racing, or good traction while off-roading, but wears out tires fast on curves and turns.

What type locking diff on 240 Volvo?

The 240 Volvo typically uses a "limited-slip differential" (LSD) or an "open differential." The LSD allows for better traction by distributing power to the wheels with more grip, while the open differential allows for independent wheel rotation, which can lead to wheel spin in slippery conditions. For enthusiasts, "locking diffs" can be aftermarket options that provide even more traction by locking both wheels together when needed. Be sure to check compatibility with your specific model and year when considering replacements or upgrades.
