I am the smooth madman.
And a further fact analysis has to do with oil volume=20
The limited slip unit installed inside the tiny GT6 diff case takes up way w=
ore space than the welded spider gears. Thus the welded setup allows you to u=
se more oil which is critical.=20
Generally speaking the GT6 Differential requires more oil volume not less.
