I just had a question...has anyone here been able to successfully build a
limited slip differential (LSD) or automatic locking differential out of the
Technic elements? I've been toying around with the various types of
differential designs used in real life and been trying to implement them
into Lego models and was able to make a "simulated" manual lockable
differential which basically allows for switching between the differential
or a pair of standard gears...but I can't seem to think of a way to do the
other kinds. Any ideas?

Hello, I have built both LSD and manual locking diff. Both were simple AND worked very well, BUT they are not realistic; I mean that they do not work the way the real LSD and locking diff. work. I'm still working on that... One of my creations is a (...) (23 years ago, 16-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)
