Torsen Differential

[james accordino]

T*rsen stands for "Torque Sensing" and is proprietary
technology of the Gleason Corp.  I think.  Anyway,
it's a constantly variable "differential" that sends
torque to the point that can handle the most.  It is
fully automatic and constantly variable.  I think it
can split torque up to 90/10 in either direction.
IMHO, it is absolutely bulletproof.  The blocks of the
MC-1 and MC-2 are externally identical and will bolt
up with no problems.
