"The only advantage to a gear type LSD is no maintanence or failure due to never locking up 100%.
Quaife for example is a gear type that works very smooth due to the gears which do not stop. There is almost no sound emitted.
Carbonetic’s clutch type has metal disks and high initial torque which makes alot of noise and engaging is very harsh. For delivering power, this is better where the Quaife is nicer for street or track use. Usually people say the Carbonetic is working ON or OFF. This is the only negative for clutch type LSD systems. If you set up the LSD with low initial like the OEM LSD, it will work smooth but the performance is very weak.
The maintenance of the Quaife gear LSD is simple as it almost never breaks. Clutch type LSD’s require oil maintanence and usually metal type LSD’s require the oil to be changed every 3-5K miles even on street driven after the break-in period. The CARBON LSD version requires maintenance more often after initial break-in period. Generally required to change the oil every 2000 miles due to the carbon disks getting dirty faster. So to keep the best performance, you always need to change oil often.
The Quaife gear system rarily break so you do not need to rebuild them. The Carbonetic metal disk LSD needs to be rebuilt every 8-10K miles. Once you lose initial torque, the disk won’t hold well. When they begin to slip, the disks ware out really fast and eventually it will become like a open diff.
The Quaife cannot be set up to different ratio’s like the Carbonetic. A Quaife has just one setting. Clutch type LSD’s can be set up as the customers like, depend on how strong, fast, timing etc. Metal LSD’s are very picky to set up precisely and require a special skill for the set up as you like."
The machine shop does much of our work, that my buddy runs here, makes gears; its his mainbusiness. But realistically, I would not even attempt to try and make different gears, the benefit is so overpowered by the cost, and you sure wont be picking these gears off a CAT shelf.
The hi helix Quaife made for the Time Attack car, John Heinricy did not like it, the car understeered too much for his driving style and he went back to the stock Quaife. I kinda like the hi helix, but I set the car up differently these days, and my Redline is almost 700 lbs heavier than the time attack Cobalt was..
