So I have this '76 914-8 with an LS-1 conversion & one day while pulling out of a graveled area I kicked it a bit & noticed leaving 2 ruts behind instead of the one I was used to in a previous 914.
So the other day when I had it up on jack stands I started it up, put it in 1st gear & let it idle while I got out to look... left rear wheel was turning fwd at a constant rate, while the right was also turning fwd, but at a slower rate. Could it be that I have some sort of limited slip arrangement here ? Transaxle is a modified 901 & has the numbers HA 22095 on the bottom of the case. Thanks for any info on this... Terry |

The car that made these two equal-length tire marks had positraction. Can't make those marks without positraction.
And why not? What is positraction? It's a limited sIip differential, which distributes power equally to both the right and left tyres. The 914 has a regular differential, which anyone who's been stuck in the mud knows you step on the gas, one tire spins, the other does nothin'. |
