How useful is the locking differential? 900

posted by  someone claiming to be Gondar in Bethesda on  Mon Oct 20 08:10 CST 2003 [RELATED]

My 93 965 locker will cut in abruptly with a jolt. It will indeed give you more forward thrust but possibly putting the car sideways. Especially on ice and black ice. I mean you really have to watch it every instant. Not for the sloppy driver. Car is a deathtrap on all-season tires in the slick. 4 Michelin Arctic Alpin "ice" tires made probably a 300 percent difference in acceleration, 200 in braking, and much better lateral stability. They wear like gumballs though.
