i have one in my car, has not given me any trouble whatsoever, if you are use to a quiet lsd then it may not be for you, but i use to run a spool and now have a lokka centre and its a huge improvment. have run 11.8 sec passes with slicks and 1.6 sec 60 fot time and hasnot given any sign of breaking yet. they do have some lash though, as in feels like driveline slop, quite bearable though. when mine went in we used brand new side gears to be safe.

just a question wats the difference between a locker and a minispool? how dus a locker actually work?

easily explained as a mechanical lsd

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but How are these diffs holding out? And how much are they?

I was with my mate when they chucked it in his calais turbo, MINT for traction and going sideways but about 6 months later its starting to axle tramp HARDCORE. You stall it up and take off (say 3000rpm) and it shakes the whole car ****ing hard. Ask da0k on here. The clicking u get when u go around corners is normal of the locker, if u install it and look at the assembly u will understand but as soon as ur foot is on the throttle it locks.

I used to get tramp issues with the Spool, but I nolothaned all the bushes in the rear and it is fine now. How much and where from for the Lokka?

If l get normal LSD with 3.7 gears will that give me traction off the line like minispool? l want more of a smooth drive and the minispool shakes the whole car which can feel uncomfortable at times. any help would be greatly appreciated. cheers bump, if l get rid of the minispool will the shaking disappear?

Worn axle bearings. Warped diff housing. Unbalanced flywheel. Etc.

lokkas are noisy

Billabongs are turgid

Any updates with these i have one ready to be put in my car but havent yet got around to doing it, any tips when putting them in?
