For the first two minutes, I was wondering what drugs the producer was on!

I figured it had to be young Mel Brooks for sure. We were in the wrong video.

Interesting, that was a bit of a lengthy and new approach to explaining how a diff works. However they didnt really explain any pros and cons of an open diff like that.

If anyone is interested in seeing some great side to side comparisons between how a torsen diff (like in the s2ks) and an open/limited slip diff, check out the video here

I was going to say a Open diff is much different than the Torsion found in the S2k . But good info for those that want to learn


We did a small class back in the day at a tech meet showing the internals of the S2k diff and how it functioned.
