Hydratrack Diff - pro and contra ???

[christof]

Just thinking if it's necessary to spec the hydratrack diff or not.

The problem is that all my later TVR had the hydratrak diff, so I don't know how the driving will be with the TVR diff.

I personally noticed nothing special with having a hydratrak.

Please give me your views...

Not strictly Hydratrack but I hated the viscous diff that came as standard in the V8S, the current friction plate one is a vast improvement.

I met someone who claimed he couldn't do donuts (sp ?) in his Cerbera because he said it had a hydratrack diff.

The same reason was produced by various non-donut capable Tuscan drivers at TVRs Performance Technique day at Bedford in August

I didn't have a problem in my Griff!

Christof,

I've had tuscans without and the current with.

On the very few occasions I have found to play with it (low grip and low speed), I have found it smoother pushing the back out and much smoother when it comes back in.

Also accelerating in a straight line appears not to result in any snaking motion when traction is lost when I have been trying a little too hard off the mark.

I have never had the desire to do 'donuts' and hence cannot comment on what difference it makes but think it is well worth 500 quid.

I think it's poo. save the money and get the hooligan std friction diff.

Got Hydratrack on my Cerbera - don't really like, come back Chimaera LSD all is forgiven. BTW if you have Hydracrap there is a page in the Cerbera's handbook that warns against continuous wheelspin (donuts, big power slides ect) as it can cause diff failure!
