Yup, it's a Detroit locker. Simple as bricks.

Amici,
Sorry to flog this topic again but it's getting interesting.  I tore the
unit 
apart tonight expecting cams and pawls per the responses I've received.  
(THANX, BTW)  What I found resembles a stack of teeth held in engagement
by a 
spring on either side.  It appears the teeth will remain in engagement
until 
a sufficient differential force appears to overcome the springs and allow
the 
teeth to slide over each other.  Increased lockup would come with
increased 
spring pressure.  Does this sound familiar?  It looks like it would work
but 
I've no idea what I've got.  Can anybody recognize this thing??  It's
gonna 
get a set of 4.11 gears for the GT6 to run on tight tracks but I'd be
tickled 
to learn about it,  Thanx, Steve
