There are three types of rear ends (that I know of)...
The single track or open end - where one wheel and one wheel only, turns. How lame is that.
The common slip or limited slip style diff that puts power to both wheels, but allows for that power to vary from side to side most commonly used in turning. It eliminates one of the tires from chirping or hopping in a turn.
Then there is what I call the True Positive Traction Diff. Not to be confused with the "posi-track" used by (GM) or "trac-lok" use by (Ford). This diff does not belong on the street. It is for race cars . It has no side to side slip. The gears are set, no clutches. And if the input turns "x" times both wheels turn "y" times.

Did they make a positive traction rear differential for a 2000 crown vic?
It was an option.
What is it called when it isn't positive traction?
the correct term is posi-traction which refers to the power to the differential then to the rear wheels, a posi-traction equipped vehicle provides power to both drive wheels if one of the wheels starts to slip, a non posi-traction vehicle only drives one rear wheel.
Why is rear differential light flashing on Toyota 1996?
The flashing light is letting you know your differential is locked in for more traction
Does a 2000 trans am have posi traction?
Yes, a 2000 Trans Am does have posi traction. If a car has posi traction, it means that the car has a limited slip differential. Posi traction is good to have when traveling in ice or mud.
What is non limited slip differential?
The term "Non Limited Slip Differential" is Ford's way of telling you that your differential isn't special. A limited slip differential has clutches in it that stop a spinning wheel (the one that isn't getting traction) and send the power to the one that has traction, so the vehicle can get out of snow or mud. A non limited slip differential can only send power to one wheel at a time, which is the one with the least amount of rolling resistance (the one not getting traction).

Which type of differential is used in tractor?
A locking differential is used in tractors which provide increased traction compared to a standard or open differential. It restricts each of the two wheels on an axle to the same rotational speed without regard to available traction or differences in resistance seen at each wheel.
When was positive traction invented?
1935
Do 1972 super beetles have posative traction?
No. No aircooled VW has a limited-slip differential.
Is a solid axle the same as a positive track axle?
No, a solid is the relationship of the rear wheels with regard to the suspension. Independent is one alternative where each rear wheel can travel in the suspension independently. Positrac is a type of limited slip traction control in the differential passing torque to the rear wheel with the most traction as opposed to letting the wheel without traction spin. The alterntive is an open differentialk, torque applied to the wheel with least traction.
How does a differential work on a front wheel traction car?
Go to youtube; type in "differential gear", there is an old 9 minute video demonstrates how they work very well.
Does a 1988 2.8 camaro have positive traction?
