OBX=chinese garbage
Now take the time to finish it properly and they are as good as a Honda LSD, but still worlds away from Quaife in quality and durability.

The great part of this new design differential, is the tunability. The center section actually burrows from a snowmobiles CVT rear clutch design and rotates on a cammed surface as a reaction to torque and spring pressure.

Guardian and frankdogg: you guy are the best. Hit it right on the fricken nose! People here need to chill and relax.
Next month starts my drivetrain upgrade phase. I'll let you know about these new quaife units.

ahahah. OBX can't compare with quaife. gonna take me a while to get the quaife's though. freakin costs a G.
still waiting for mine ordered on the 21st, they were not in stock..........
OK Doug, let me clear something up.....there are 2 completely different differals here and people are getting them mixed up.
The first is the quaife atb lsd....It is made in the UK and that is the one that everyone knows....
The second is the Autotech that uses Wavetrac rather than the atb. The Autotech is suppose to be made in America by the people that import the Quaife. You see the short coming of atb is if one wheel looses all traction, your lsd acts like a open diff. The wavetrac has friction plates that will still bind the 2 sides if you go to zero traction on one wheel.... In short, you brake a Axel with the Autotech, the car will still move like a clutch type diff.
this is the link on wavetrack......

Here is a link showing the 2 different lsd's....

the important thing to remember is if you order a Quaife....you will get a Quaife not a Autotech.....
The other important thing to know is if you order a Autotech....you have a wait on you hands( think months)....So I changed my order to a Quaife....And it is sitting right here ready for the trans rebiuld....
This new LSD looks nice, but I'd have 2 concerns:
1) Reliability? The Quaife has a great track record, does this new one?
2) Wear? The thing I like about the ATB, is there are no true "friction surfaces" like with clutch LSDs. It is hard to tell, but will you have to replace those friction plates over time?
Id say just buy the ITR Tranny.
