Subject: Understanding Differentials

Hi all. There has been a lot of discussion on the forum about the different types of differentials available. The following is a link to an article written by Craig Taylor, the President of Taylor Race Engineering. Craig is a Mechanical Engineer, Drivetrain Expert with 40-years of experience, Multi-time National SCCA Driving Champion, Land Speed Record Holder and my Boss. I learned quite a bit.

Subject: that's some great info

I'm not sure that I've ever seen a compact collection of information on differentials. A good read for sure, but it makes me want to drop a bunch of money into my diff.

maybe after I blow the current one up.

excellent info, too technical to digest it in one read for me, but it is the first time I found a paper on diff's AND suspension set up. Good stuff. _________________ 72 tii A4 Don't argue with anyone that will not consider the possibility of being wrong... the future is a dream, the present infinitesimally brief, but the memories are forever...
