Spool ideas/comments/experience
 

I Am thinking about doing a spool in my diff..the mckinney one i think it is.. yeah i know i know about mckinney but what i am asking is if any1 has any first hand experience with the spool and how it felt vs a 1.5 or a 2 way lsd.

I am a :newbie: therefore i must ask these ?'s that make people go:picardfp: which in turn could make me :cry: So lets keep this discussion under control...i just wanna know how it feels compared to others and how it behaves on the street DD'in it..

Thanks

a spool will work the same way as a welded diff. a 1.5 way or 2 way will allow the wheels to operate freely under low speed/power and lock up when torque is applied. as a welded diff, both wheels are forced to operate at the same speed regardless as both axle's are locked together, much in the same way as a spool

You don't have to make a new thread everytime you want to ask a question. There are sections for small questions like this. Please do more research before making threads.

Like stated a spool is no different than a welded diff. Save your money, get your car RUNNING and stop asking about shit you don't need on or in a car with a tired stock KA.

A 2way locks on accel and decel. A 1.5way locks on accel and has partial lock up on decel. A welded diff(or one with a spool) is locked, will shred tires and is not ideal for a DD.

Once again, more research and get your damn car running before you go modifying shit you don't understand.

ok, i know how they work i was just seeing if i could get some input on using a spool on the street mostly and does u turns or tight turns make driving difficult or annoying

it's exactly like a welded diff. look up welded diff reviews and replace welded with spool in your head.
