Lockrite gives a positive lock, LSD limits wheel slip. Apparently toyota LSD does not work that well.

I have lockers and go out with people with LSDs....the LSDs are useful to a point...they're a bit better than open diffs, but when it comes to the crunch, they'll still leave you stranded where lockers will get you through.

They are allways f%#ked because no one changes the oil in them.
Same old story no maintanance things wear out especially after the first 10-20k all the running in of gears where do u think all that metal goes.
There are shims available to adjust the preload on the clutches.
LSD are more suitable for everyday use when lockrite can be a little rough.
I'm not stuck I'm over here!
Watch where you driven!!!

How exactly does a lockrite work...

My diff is currently a 'MIG Special' Lockrites sound like they are unlocked and lock when required....

But what is required, how does it know to lock, are they harsh locking in?

I'm no expert, bu my understanding is that lock rites are always locked but allow the outside (faster) wheel to over run the crown wheel in corners. I think they've got teeth cut in a ramp and it can work like a ratchet, so one wheel can turn faster than the engine is driving it, bu no wheel can ever turn slower than the engine is driving it...therefore, one wheel can never stop turning.

this is the winner. some use clutch packs or something i think to allow for the speed up of the outside wheel, but yeah, theory is good... it's always locked
