FAO Zcars
or anyone else for that matter,
My car is harder to push than I expected. With no apparent brake binding issues I am suspecting the diff. Would the gripper type LSD be harder to push around than a standard type diff?
It appears to drive ok, but it hasn't exactly been put through it's paces yet.
...or am I just weak as a kitten?

Car With Gripper Type Lsd Is Quite Hard To Push Is This Normal Please Zcars Steve?

Hey Alburglar
The gripper diff makes the car very hard to push around corners, before swapping mine for a Quaife I could hear the gripper diff grawnching as you tried to push it round a corner. The whole diff things is discussed here if you wanted more on it::::::http://www.theminifo...ic=139772&st=45
Its a horses for courses thing really, if you want an agressive diff that will allow you to snap a driveshaft but it will still propel you using only one or if lifting the inside wheel is of concern then a gripper or any plate type is a good option.

Thanks for that. As long as it's not broken I'm happy. I remember pushing a mini with a salisbury diff that was a pig, so I had an incling that might be the case.
