Limited slip is accomplished by different means, depending on the manufacturer, application and vehicle. There is the cone type LSD, there is the clutch type LSD, there are locking differentials (mechanical, pneumatic and electric operated) and all accomplish the same basic thing- applying power to the wheel having traction or basically both wheels simultaneously. | Limited slip is accomplished by different means, depending on the manufacturer, application and vehicle.

There is no place for a spool on the street. Period. It matters very little to anyone who finds themselves upside down in a ditch that someone ''else'' claimed they drove on the street for 20 years with a spool without any problems. What '''should''' matter is that it is a patently unsafe practice that should be avoided altogether on the street. It is a drag racing modification only. | There is no place for a spool on the street. Period.
