I've been wondering the same, it sounds good on clutch masters website. Anyone have one or know anything about them?

No its not a true LSD, and no it will not last for the life of your transmission (or transmission will not live for the life of the car). But yes it efficiently delivers simular torque to both wheels up until a certain point. The PG device is composed of 2 hardened steel blocks separated by 4 rather strong springs. The blocks push on the 2 main spider gears and prevent them from spinning at different speeds, until differential torque is stronger than the static friction between the surface of the Phantom Grip block and top of gears........ At this time slippage will occur and almost normal differential operation will occur. In other words the differential will unlock when the car is turning in very short radius. The system is effective but its not LSD.

I don't know man. I hear mostly bad things about them. More bad than good. Some say that there tranny was torn apart cauze of phantom grip? I've never experianced with it but it makes me think twice. Save up and get a kaaz lsd or quife? I mean its expensive but its worth it.

tom at www.ludespeed.com had a hell of a time with it, and he hates it...

but that's him...

there should be a link on his site about his weekend installing and uninstalling it...
