Once I saw the Torsen Differential on Brian's page
http://www.kiva.net/~alano/brian/torsen/

I also tried to make one based on the diff design on Mike Fusion's page
http://odin.prohosting.com/mrplanet/

Not surprisingly I ended up with one very similar to the one you made with a
few minor changes: I used <part:32069> instead of <part:32034> to support the
16t gear (I used an idle one but a regular one would be just as good).
That gives support to the gear from both sides and leaves some room for more
support between the two 40t gears. I hope I can post some pictures soon
(I don't have a digital camera so I'll have to scan some old fashion
photos...)
