2 way diff and ratio's answered

[Cooldrft]

just out of interest my diff is a 2way and when turning at low speeds or reversing and turning i get loads of tyre skiping and klunking sound, but driving normally at speed its sound and wud kill ya in the wet is this normal?

That's normal for a lot of 2ways diffs

OR its a sign that you have a welded one there (someone lied to you when you bought the car etc), proper 2 way should have that very little bit of "go" in it (at least mine does).

So whats the DIFFerence between a 1.5 and a 2way diff?
Is there just less give in a 2way?

A 1.5way will be that bit better if you were using on the road. It doesn't lock both wheels on deceleration, only only acceleration whereas a 2 way will lock them up constantly

Edit: Oh, I see what you did there, I see it, its good

think there was a helical diff in my s15 when i first got it, it was grand in the wet but shit in dry. As soon as i swapped it out for a proper 2 way the difference was amazing though so i then realised how shit the helical s15 diff was!!
