AE TC3 Differentials ???????
 

I have heard that its good to lock the differentials for drifting. Why? can somebody explain why this is good.

I have not opened my TC3 diffs yet, Just want to ask if they are easy to lock.

Thanks,

It's easy to do, and it might not involve opening the diff case. I have 2 TC4's.

All you have to do is stick the right size allen wrench tool into the left outdrive (left if you're looking at the chassis from the back). There's a tiny screw/bolt in there that can be turned, clockwise to tighten. Hold the opposite wheel so it won't turn while you tighten. And hand tighten only - don't use pliers or anything - because it's possible to overtighten and mess up your diff. Just hand-tighten it until it feels snug, and that's it.

If you can do all that without opening the diff case, great. Personally I found it hard to get that wrench in there, so I just opened the case up, took the diff out, and tightening was a cakewalk.

You'll want to lock both diffs probably. But don't tighten the front quite as tightly as the back.
