I was watching Horse power T.V on Spike and saw a rear end that would be posi traction in a straight line, but if you turn in goes into a limited slip. Does anybody have any info on this?

Whatha talking about? I thought limited slip was the third member that had cones that drove themselves into the housing, wheras a posi had a clutch pack.

positraction is the name for GM/Eatons "limited slip", single tire burnouts result from "open" carriers

you mean it's a locker in straight and disengages for turns
