This is true, but probably not what the OP wants in a street driven car. I installed a PowerTrax locker in my '83 Toyota 4x4 24 years and almost 100,000 miles ago, and it was cheap, easy to install at home in an afternoon, and has been bulletproof. That said, it is nasty on the street, especially in the rain, and snaps and pops and jerks around corners when you are coasting and it locks the wheels and skids the outboard tire when turning under power. Great in the dirt and off road (a huge help up steep, loose hills), but treacherous on the street in slick conditions. The OP is much better off with a conventional limited slip with a clutch pack or cone type.
