Default lbs/ft force value to turn powr loc drive shafts?
Hi Guys,
I have been looking around the forum for some specs on the Jag powr-loc and de-rating. I have found a bit of info - but no one seems to know what the actual lbs/ft force (to turn one shaft against the other) is for a de-rated LSD. Rather that the 50% figure that is quoted in many of the posts I am looking for the actual force required to turn one input shaft whilst the other is locked. For example, the manual states that the force to turn one shaft whilst to other is fixed should be between 40 to 70 lbs/ft.

So, does anyone know what the force is AFTER de-rating? I have manged to get mine down to 38 lbs/ft by re-arranging the disc/plates. I am looking for some idea as to whether this will be enough.

Cheers,

Roy
