Locking diff is not standard with the off-road package...

A buddy of mine has the G80, but was doing the one wheel peel offroad, so he bought a powertrax. Well, the powertrax doesnt work with the LSD, so he put everything back together, and when he filled the fluid back up with the friction modifier, it started working.
Anyway, you might want to try changing the fluid.

I doubt it. I think it locks at low speeds (under 20) when the difference between both tires exceeds 100rpm?? But won't unlock while under power. Thats why you can put down two black lines from 0-??, but why it doesnt lock downshifting at speeds over 20. Don't quote me for sure, but I think thats how they work. At least till they blow up

Most G80s unlock after 20 mph but some dont including parish's as you can see on some of his videos.

The G80 has a mind of it's own, It seams to lock and unlock when ever it wants.
