[V8] V8 diffs

[DasWolfen at aol.com]

 Automatics..... Open Front, Open center with locking feature, Torsen rear

 The center diff is always either locked or open. The trans computer receives 
wheel speed info via the ABS module, if its missing one channel or senses a 
difference in wheels speeds it will lock the diff. Possible 
exception!!!....there seems to be an inhibit feature that prevents changing the diff mode under 
braking...I know I never could get my 1990 to lock/unlock under braking.

 Different sized tires can and will cause the TCU to lock the diff...as one 
lister recently discovered.

 Manual Trans.... Open/Torsen/Torsen


 Slamming Audi for not installing a locker or torsen up front misses the 
point. At least you will always have some torque to both ends....which is 90% 
better than 90% of everything else out there.
