I agree. the point I was making is that the ZF lsd is a clutch plate design that by its nature has 'consumable' internals (the clutch plates) that have a limited life expectancy, whereas the ATB being a gear design is inherantly longer lasting. The Quaife units have an enviable reputation for strength in other applications that is almost a byproduct of their 4 pinion design
