So how does it decide to disengage ...? Does the angled incline just overcome the spring and push it out, ie it's the spring rate is the control ? so if you had it on a performance unit and floored it, would both sides just cam out ?

@newengland72 Yes.

It is not a differential, because there is no geared interconnection between the wheels which supports counter rotation.

I can permit two different wheels speeds, but in so doing, only drives one of them.

That is crap, that is not a solution for use on pavement.

@SparkDischarge Did you watch past 0:55?

[SparkDischarge]

This is NOT a differential.

A differential allows for 1 power source to be split to 2 outputs, while it allows independent rotation of those 2 outputs.

This can not do both at the same time.

This is not street legal, because it is not a differential.

anytime the center section is rotating faster than the side gears it is locked,,when a side gear is faster than the center gear it over rides the lock ..forward backwards doesnt matter..first detroit lockers back in the day unlocked under deceration now that was a lot of fun GRAMPA

@jgizzy It is a one way clutch, if you floor it during a turn it will lock back up. I have had a detroit locker (exact same device as this one) in several vehicles, and driven on the road. If you give it gas during a turn it locks up violently and you hear a loud bang, and the vehicle tries to go straight, so you learn not to do that. Instead you want to maintain a smooth steady speed during turns. It will allow one axle to go faster than the center section, but never allows one to go slower.

I installed one of these in my truck years ago. Nice device but, it has it's little quirks you have to learn. With an empty p/u, it will chatter and clank through turns and sometimes will not re-engage until you depress the clutch and heard with a "clack". If it does not reengage, you will experience pull to one side. This one is also hard on tires. A loaded p/u, it works well. I have also found that with one drive wheel off the ground, you can manually unlock the differential by hand.

@dugaiczyk and or @orinionalwinja

It stays locked in either forward or reverse, or outter tire spin faster as well in either direction.

Centrifugal force is what pulls outward the main engagement teeth in the turns.

The are four or more internal teeth that remain connected to the drive train and help align the main engagement teeth so that they don't skip and grind down when re-engaging.

[dugaiczyk]

@origionalwinja and mechanical engineering isnt yours, apparently. Just because they say that it is still engaged in reverse doesnt explain how. Why dont you go to college and get a ME degree before posting comments like that.

[origionalwinja]

@dugaiczyk paying attention isnt your strong suit... it clearly said at start of video forward or revers the diff is locked except in turn. and how would you come to a conclusion of backwards unlocked it?? might wanna watch a vid more than once before posting comments like that
