How would I know if my diff is toast/not working.
I have a Quaife LSD installed in my built turbo Prelude. I never had traction (even on totally dry streets) in the winter (1st-2nd gear, maybe end of 3rd?), but I thought it was just because it was cold and I was on my 16" stockers and Dirrezzas' which all robbed me of traction. Now it's warmer, I upgraded to my 17" Mugens w/ sticky BF Goodridge KDW's but still no traction in 2nd (I never expected to get traction in 1st). I'm not familiar with the inner-workings of a transmission, so I ask, could the diff become "disengaged" somehow? I'm assuming it can't, because it looks pretty locked the fvck up in there, just curious... When they are spinning the car pulls perfectly straight and the wheel doesn't go wild or anything. Would it be obvious that my diff isn't working? Cluncking, locking etc...? Is this just the price of semi-high HP FWD?
