Default HMT project for Posi/LSD

Ok well I am just gonna throw this out and see if anyone knows what i'm talking about or knows if it can be done. Well, I know that on a rear end for a rear wheel drive car you can weld the spider gears and you will have full time posi. I know some people who have done it to cheap old mud boggers. Now, can this be done to a front wheel drive car or is front wheel drive completely different? If so, I figured, why not weld the spider gears and have posi instead of paying out the *** for a lsd unit from quaife or whatever the hell. What the hell is quaife anyway, shut up with the quaife.

Dont forget to mention the broken axles that come along with the property...

The next best thing to welding the gears, is the "SPOOL" which is in the 300 range.

Also, here is the bad news...........

V8 rear ends don't use cast spiders, they are machined from solid stock.

Talking GM 10 and 12 bolt rears, not the shitty 7.5/7.625 Monza rears used in 82+ F Bodys.

The cast Honda spiders will become brittle and the welds. When the welds break (LOL F&F!) the tranny will explode just like if you ate thru a diff pin.



Now come up with a Detroit Locker or PowerTrax, then you might have something!

so he had the tranny in out 2-3 times?

Time spent welding

OBX for $400 is so much easier.
