Posi-rear or limited slip rear drive

[NJMike]

Does the CSC conversion drive both rear wheels or just one? And if it’s just one, which one is it?

Positraction ‘ limited slip ‘ sure grip ‘ are one in the same, and I doubt that any Trike has that but they all have an open rear axle and the power goes to the wheel with the least traction….

That was a lot of info but not sure if it answered my question . Is power sent to both wheels or just one? I thought it was a simple question but my lack of auto mechanics may be in play here…

One wheel ..

Ok, bear with me, rhino…are you saying that that the wheel which receives power is the one that currently has the least traction? That would imply that power is is sent to both wheels, although only one at a time. Is that right?

Mike, have you jacked the wheels off the ground and spun them forward ?

See what wheel turns forward, if both do you have a posi rear end, if not one wheel may spin backwards or not at all

Yes and no….Power goes to the rear axle…But the differential is made to Slip..And

lets the wheel with the least traction receive the most power spin …That’s called an open differential/axle (The ATC’s trikes had a locked differential with power to both wheels and as such were dangerous and after many rollover accident made illegal) … positraction transfers the traction back-and-forth to each wheel but not permanently ..

Very interesting. Thank you.

Hey…Mona Lisa Vito can explain it more better in My Cousin Vinny’ And she’s also cute ....

Now THAT I understand!

I thought I knew the answer to that but now I know better
