I remember seeing this back in highschool. Still the best break-down of a diff.

For those that don't know a Lincoln Locker is what they call it when you weld your spider gears up so both alxes turn at the same time. It's mainly common for drag racing and 4x4ing. It's the cheap mans way of doing it if you don't want to spend the money on a Detroit or selectable locker to get way better traction.

neat video! Amazing how this was invented in the early 1900's

This is the same video my instructor used at BCIT when we were going through differentials.

Anyone have any other vehicle component break downs? i'd like to know specifically how a transmission works and how they came to create it.

saw this a while ago and this is definitely the most well explained video on youtube. and the fact that it was filmed so long ago makes it even cooler
