Limited Slip Differential
 

Has anyone ever used the limited slip traction control system? If so how well does it work and is it worth the money. Or are there any other alternatives to the one on the buggies unlimited website?

I was mor so looking to see if anyone had used one and if they were worth it.

I use mine everyday. I just welded it solid. Rips the grass up when I turn hard but it always grows back.

Re: Limited Slip Differential
 

Would you happen to have picture of the gears you welded? I've done it in the rear end of a truck before but have never been in the rear end of my golf cart. Any help would be great.

Re: Limited Slip Differential
 

The rear end is back together and I didn't take any pics but it's pretty easy to do. The differential comes apart in two pieces and you can get in thare real easy to weld it up. I tacked mine first then take it apart and weld it up good then put it back together.

Alright, I'll pull it open and see what I'm working with.

2000 club car with the Kawasaki axle I know Buggies Unlimited offers one but I was looking for a slightly cheaper alternative to that one.

Re: Limited Slip Differential
 

if you do rip yours apart to weld it can you take pictures please! im am also interrested in do this. i can get it welded easily. not really into dropping 300 for a "limited slip" would rather just do the real deal and lock it out.

Sometimes you can Shim the side-gears(the ones the axles slip thru)so that they are very tight to the opposed spiders.This will give a decent "Live-Axle"in most cases.It all depends on how tight you can get it shimmed.If you go the "Lincoln-Locker" route(welded),make sure you wedge some pieces of Grade-8 bolt between the teeth before welding.This will wedge everything,so you aren't just relying on the weld,since everything is heat-treated,and the welds won't hold like you would think(It doesn't matter who does it,or how good the machine is,Heat-Treated Steel and Weld don't play well together).Hope this helps.:thumbup:

That helps a lot rib thanks for the post I wasn't sure if it was set up like the rear end of a truck or not. And this way I'm not going in blind.

i wish someone would invent a cable activated locker like the "ox locker"for jeeps and trucks:thumbup:

Did you weld your diff? I have a 2000 carryall 6 and was wondering if it worked out for you.
