Each differential clutch pack is premeasured to assure correct stack height. Do not separate the differential clutch packs and intermix the clutch plates and clutch discs from other differential clutch packs.

In diagnosis of vehicle operator complaints, two things must be recognized:

If, with unequal traction, both wheels slip, the limited-slip has done all it can possibly do.
In extreme cases of differences in traction, the wheel with the least traction may spin after the limited-slip has transferred as much torque as possible to the non-slipping wheel.
