Does the C4 turn 1 wheel or both rear wheels when you accerate. Some cars only spin one wheel until they reach a certain RPM. Just curious about what the C4s do.

If you are only spinning one tire, your posi is worn out.

Thats the clutch pack in the differential of all C4s that makes both tires spin.

Now you just need to learn the difference between an open, limited slip, and locked differentials.

Sad thing about it is, it is still very well at communicating the basics.

My 14 year old was asking just the other day and I made him watch it as well.

I need to find one like that for an LSD clutch pack.
