Hi guys,
I checked out the tag on my diff of my SVO Fairlane NA (After scrapping the years of s**t off of it) and noticed it stated Anti Spin Diff. Is this standard to the NA Fairlanes? Is it basically an LSD? |

Sorry man, no clear picture of the tag. Got a picture of the actual diff but it's the same as any old Fairlane diff, I'm told. I got my answer from a different form. Is that blasphemy?
Quote: 'Spin Resistant' they call it. It works fine with a few K's but after a few thousand K's the Spin Resistant stops working. You can get them re-shimmed to a much tighter tolerance and they work like lockers. I did it to my XR8 & my series 3 TE50
So a Spin Resistant diff is an LSD or some other design to stop the car spinning around inadvertently? No, it uses clutches with a break pressure pre-set . So it's easy for a good diff guy to set the break pressure much higher by adding shims to increase clutch pressure/break away pressure. Easy way to check your is: Jack the rear wheels off the ground, put car in neutral, hand brake off and get a mate to hold one wheel while you try to turn the other. If there is resistance, then the clutches are still working (but may need to be shimmed to a tighter tolerance). If there is no resistance, it will need re-shimming. The spin resistance isn't working at all. |

But then, there's also this answer:
Quote: 'Anti slip' and 'spin resistant' are simply fancy names for regular, run of the mill LSD's. Meh, I don't know. I was always planning on throwing in an EL/EF XR6 diff and hand brake anyway. |
