Torsen is a torque biasing unit that is almost transparent to most people. I sugest you look into it!! They are expensive and need premium synthetic gear lube with lots of additives but they rule for daily driveing and have almost taken over F1!

just the opposite. the torsen doesn't need anything special, not additive nor synthetic. The gear lube requirement is dictated by the ring/pinion gear in the differential. Zexel/torsen has a decent website with detailed info on the T2 type a, b, and T2R. I don't think the T2's are expensive, relatively speaking. The T2R's are expensive, over $500 I think for just the unit.quote:

Now THAT would be fun in the snow. NOT!

I'm a little lost...What is a "full spool"?![]()
Snow tires are what it's all about. 4WD with summer tires is all but worthless in the snow. 2WD with snow tires will get you going.quote:
