didn't mark (vlt 88) have a 25 spline LSD for a while? he smashed that sh*t and it lasted a little while although, LSD might not be bad on the driveline as a 'spool'. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeh don't load up on it in a short period of time ie hard clutch pops and shift dumps and it'll last ages. Transbrakes kill them, my diff housing dented the underside of the chassis/floor pan in my old red rig. Would have made for an interesting moment for anyone sitting in the back middle seat

I had a 25 spline LSD in my manual injected 304 for years without any problems. I then supercharged it (250rwkw) and on the first day I snapped an axle and stipped the centre changing between first and second
