No detroit lockers from factory in those. Only 'Hydratak' diffs in the outback models. EL GT's and some HSV Dunnydoors also use the Hydratrak centre. Google it and read up if you want more info.
I have to ask why you have been told to put a Detroit Locker in? What sort of driving do you do? |

Yep the Hydratrak are a viscous coupling LSD. They will be hard to find and I did read on here that they are no longer available and cannot be serviced/rebuilt due to being a sealed unit - an issue with BTR or whatever their name is these days! Once the viscous fluid inside has degraded or been cooked there is a problem.
Deathlucky I'm sure wikipedia will have a description on how a detroit locker works compared to a normal clutch-pack LSD, there are also a few other types available now. I wouldn't have a detroit locker as a first choice for a street car. |
