Wavetrac Limited Slip Differential

Wavetrac gear type limited slip differentials (LSD's) are a 'fit and forget' solution to improving your cars traction by reducing wheelspin. This makes them highly beneficial in tuned vehicles which struggle to put the power down to the road. Wavetrac are unique in that they are the only gear type differential to not lose drive in wheel lift situations making them ideal for track use.

• Fit and forget with no servicing or special oils required
• Direct replacement for OEM open type differentials
• Vastly improves traction during acceleration and hard cornering
• Transmits power to the wheel with most grip even in wheel lift situations
• Suitable for road or track use
• Built using high strength 9310 steel gears and ARP fasteners for maximum reliability

Why do you need a limited slip differential.?
Standard (open) differentials are not really designed with performance in mind. We have all experienced wheelspin when accelerating particularly in wet conditions. This is because the standard differential transmits the power through the path of least resistance, in this case the wheel with least grip. Wavetrac limited slip differentials work differently as they transmit power to the wheel with the most grip massively reducing wheelspin and allowing you to maximise the power from your engine. If you have spent £££ increasing the power of your engine, then wouldn't it make sense to get as much as that power down to the road as possible? Well a Wavetrac differential allows you to go just that.

What sets Wavetrac apart from the rest.?
With other brands of gear type differentials if you lift a wheel while cornering then they will NOT transmit power to the other wheel, resulting in wheel spin and loss of momentum. Wavetrac differentials are different and WILL transmit drive to the wheel with grip in a wheel lift situation. This is a major benefit if you use your car on the track as wheel lift on tight corners occurs more often than you may think.

Wavetrac gear type limited slip differentials are designed as a direct replacement for the vehicles original differential. Once fitted they require no servicing or setting up and even use the same gear oil as original equipment if used in a manual transmission. For transaxle applications in road cars Wavetrac recommend Motul 75W90 gear oil which can be found HERE. For transaxles in competition cars or for rear axle applications Wavetrac recommend Motul 75W140 gear oil which can be found HERE, and for vehicles fitted with DSG  / DCT (dual clutch) transmissions Motul DCTF oil is recommended and can be found HERE.

Wavetrac differentials are designed to provide the same service life as an original differential. This is a major advantage over plate type LSD's which require regular servicing and special oils to operate properly.
