Want to Know How a Diff Works? Best Video Ever...
Ever wondered exactly how a diff works? This is by far the best explaination I've ever seen. I saw this a while back on YT somewhere and it happens to be from circa the 1930s. Very cool...

cool sweet vid, I never really tried to understand a diff before, just knew what it does... It didn't click in my head until they showed it with the actual metal gears.

That was a great explanation of how a differential works. Now you can see why it is so expensive to repair a rear end. Thanks for posting. Recommended video !!!

After watching this I wonder how hard it must have been to create an auto-LSD.

That's a great vid and I always thought this short and simple video about VTEC was always great as well.

Awesome find. I love it when people explain something by walking through the natural thought process. That was a really good demo they did.
