Thread: what happened to intenses LSD???

If it was a limited street use car and mainly saw the dragstrip it would be one thing, but every day driving really tears them up as they eat themselves up since the side gears are in a constant bind and this causes the spider gears to chew into the cross pin.

oh wow, i did not know that! would the GM Racing one cause all these problems as well, or did they design it so it wouldnt?

The GMR/Torsen diff is a completely different design than the Intense diff, it has none of the problems that plagued the Intense unit.

Torsen diffs are limited slip, yes. That's the point. Like I said it's gear based instead of clutch based. Here's more info for you:
