Good info minihune.

My confusion is if "the Quaife does not contain any clutch plates or similar wear items like conventional limited-slip diffs, such as the Chevy Posi-Traction, Ford Traction-Lock..."
then the term limited slip means Posi type performance - great but what was the following generation of differentials after Posi in rear wheel drive cars? Those were terrible.

I thought (old school) early Posi - good, later generation LSD - bad. '69 Chevy 12 bolt Posi - good, '78 Chevy non-clutched yet still refered to as LSD - not good. The later flavor would not apply power to both wheels in a spin situation ever.

So how does the current (stock) MINI differential compare? Is it direct drive or what?
