Has anyone got any real world driveability feedback for the 4wd Systems Lokka?
Talking to my diff guy about lockers and he's not keen on the idea of a Lokka, his understanding is that they behave the same as a Detroit locker with erratic dis/engagement that has caused him problems in the past. Has anyone had a Lokka in a high-ish powered RWD car? What did you think of it?

hi
A Lokka I suspect is referring to what traditionally called a Detroit Locker . Essentially a dog clutch that is always engaged and goes off /on /off , when operating . Supposedly not very smooth ,very rough ,aggressive on/off switching . Do v8 super cars use this ,likely . A Wave Trac Torsen would be afar smoother option . A standard torsen has less traction abilities and is limited over slow moving obstacles ie offroad . On road not to bad, acceptable traction . Horse power might limit your choice |

I've run the lokka in the front of most of my 4x4s and in the rear of a few V8 road cars.
My last one was in a V8 ute. They are great. Yes they click at low speed turning and parking but they are fine. They give issues when not set up correctly. If you power on around a corner or a roundabout they will lock and be lots of fun to drive , but back off the throttle and roll around and they drive fine. |
