Is anyone using the FG 8600 (Viscous Diff)?
I was just wondering if anyone had any experience running the Viscous diff? I have essentially narrowed my choice of a new diff to; the fourfold self locking FG 8501/5 or the aforementioned viscous diff. As always, thanks in advance.

Well I have emailed a couple of folks and I am trying to decide between the FG viscous diff and the HARM Magnetic diff. Is anyone running one of the HARM magnetic diffs? By the way it is part number HARM 1511510, you can check it out on the Krikke site. Thanks.

the viscouse is incredible , we have been runing it for about a month and a half now and have never had a diff that compares, very open yet very locked under power, = control and grip .

Andrew, thanks for the reply. I am also looking for is a diff that doesn't require a lot of maintenanace. Does the included fluid in the viscous diff do an adequate job? I don't have the time/patience to be pulling the diff and fooling around with different weight fluids. I am just a basher, but I have found that when you are going to do something, you might as well do it right the first time, and save yourself some time and money.

P.S. It is for an MT

Someone on here had pictures of the viscous diff apart so you can see how it's made. I can't find the post. Can anybody point me in the right direction? I have done the search thing and it didn't turn up what I was looking for. Thanks

so far no issues, does not seem to leak a drop. Changing fluid is a snap as you just suck out the fluid with a syringe and pour new in. we do not tend to change fluid very often.

Well I have decided on the HARM magnetic diff, as it has been around for about two years and it's maintenance free. Thanks to everyone for their input, I will keep you posted on its performance.

Could someone post links to the diffs in question? I have spent three hours on the kirke site and all I have come up with is googly eyes and a revelation that the Deutch I took in high school has escaped the steel trap![8D]
