How limited slip differentials work

[Jiggerachi]

Stumbled on this youtube channel, seems to do a good job of explaining mechanical things. Always wondered how the hell the Torsen worked, thought i'd share.








And here's this awesomely oldschool video explaining the basic concept of a differential.

So which one is better for the Miata, clutch in the NC or the Torsen in the NB? I have LSD in both of my NB and NC. I may be wrong, I think the Torsen works better.

NC isn't really a true clutch. Its the Togichi Fuji Super, which is def not as effective as the Torsen. Same thing as the NB2's. The Mazda speed clutch diff for NC was terrific,but no longer sold except on the used market.

Speaking of clutches, here is an ATB Eaton TrueTrac Differential (similar to a Quaife ATB)
