I have managed to make a LSD using the white clutch gear (clutch-pack
type of LSD).  Sorry, no pics yet!

My original plan was to make a torsen type LSD, but after learning how
one works, I have concluded that it's impossible to do with lego parts.
Torsens require helical gears of the proper angle, plus they have to be
made of materials with the correct coefficients of friction...  Lego has
a limitation afterall!

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 (...) (24 years ago, 14-Apr-01, to lugnet.technic)
