Scott, this is still wrong.  Locked center can transfer 100% to front
or rear (excluding frictional losses).

Just grab hold of a pen, grab one end and twist it in the center.
Where does all the torque go?  To the end you are holding.
Now morph that pen into a driveshaft in your mind.

We cannot go anywhere with this argument with the fallacious assumption
that a locked diff transfers 50% to each axle.  It simply isn't true.
The distribution is infinitely variable between 0/100 and 100/0.

Orin.
