>What are the various differences between different types of differentials?
a) Posi-Drive
b) Locked
c) Limited Slip
(Yes, this will somehow be TR-6 related in the future...)

a) Posi-Drive
Posi-drive is a type of screw head. Unless you are refering to the Quaife
Torsen differential which is the best for street use. Also the most
expensife
b) Locked
Poor man's limited slip. Just weld up the spiders and put the cover back
on. Fine for off road but don't drive on the streets.
c) Limited Slip
Classical limited slip with clutches that allow slippage after you reach
the torque setting of the clutches. You can sometimes feel the clutches
slip in turns but it works. Cheaper than a Quaife.
That's about all I know about it.
