i would like to lock the tranny up in mydirt trackneon so that both wheels have power no matter what....can you weld up the spider gears like you can to a rear wheel drive

 

cant hurt to try.

i mean someone told me to buy a new front gear shifter cable for my car when it was completely off and i just took a cyclnder boured it out to dyamiter and tied it down with a piece of coat hanger, works perfectly

 

you can get a mechanical LSD for about $400 or you can do the lincoln locker method if you want.

 

what are the mechancal LSD and lincoln locker methods.....im fairly new to the 4cylinder world.....thats y i joined the forum

 

neither is specific to 4 cylinders.

a mechanical Limited Slip Differential, is something like this: http://cgi.ebay.ca/OBX-LSD-HELICAL-D...QQcmdZViewItem

check the OSB site for more info or search LSD's to see how they work.

Lincoln locker is the term used to weld spiders because Lincoln is a very common brand name of ARC welders.

 

i had no idea that was called the lincoln locker method...ive done it a few times to my pure stock cars..i learn somthing everyday....but anyway.. have you ever done this ...or ever known of it being done ...ive never had a fwd trans apart ..is it even possible

 

ive never had it apart either. the only time ive done it was to rear ends. i suppose you could look at a diagram of the transaxle and figure if its possible. one thing i would keep in mind, is track RULES and the possibility of not having much steering control in the dirt, under power.

 

bones you might know of jodie bish ..the black 1b neon with the orange cypress on the side that races marrianne center...well he has his tranny locked and he cleans up out at marrianne center....judging by how many feature win stickers the car had on it when i raced agianst him at knox this year...i need to lock up my tranny cuz their is noway hes making more power than me..and hes not a better driver cuz i was runnin with him ..but he was killin me in the turns cuz of the locked tranny.
