Working on a tech article, and I haven't been able to get ahold of anyone at Phantom Grip HQ, but I know there are several people on here who understand how the PG unit works. I'm looking for someone to help me understand it, as i'm something of a DIFF newbie.

Any takers?

I'm willing to call ya on the phone as long as you're in the US...

 

Its basically two blocks of steel with springs between them. They put pressure on the inside of the stock spider gears limiting thier independant movement. This causes the two gears to move like one until there is so much force that one of them beginds to slip on the surface of the internal steel blocks.

 

Heres an article we did on my RSX a couple of years ago

thats a Transmission Cradle - Part # PGTMC

INSTALLATION HELPS PREVENT TRANNY FAILURE DUE TO THE DISTORTION SEEN WITHIN THE TRANSMISSION UNDER HIGH HP APPLICATIONS

hope this helps out. i thought you meant the random grip differential blocks, i've seen some messy pictures of them before, sold mine less than a week after getting it, but this "cradle" on the other hand...
