Hi everybody,
We`re looking into Buying a Drexler LSD these year and I can`t quite answer a few issues about the way it works.
I`m trying to fully understand how the torque is transmitted to the wheels.
can someone point me to a website or an article that can shed some light on this issue.

Cheers,

The Drexler is a "clutch-pack" LSD. Good places to start for differentials:

Also note that, as with any other component in the car, the judges will not be impressed by flashy expensive things that are poorly understood. If you are familiarizing yourself with differentials, make sure you give due consideration to spools, open diffs and other kinds of LSDs.
