Possible clutch damage after towing

[happygu]

I meant the clutch pack in the middle of the rear LSD, not the drive clutch. It's smaller in GU 4:3 one. The diffs are identical other than that, except the pinion flange.
GU flange was slightly longer and beefier(if I recall correctly)

Yes, the GU & GQ rear LSDs are identical from outside, but it's not inside(at least not the ones I got my hand on)

By the looks of it, smaller clutch pack in the GU rear LSD means that, it(LSD clutch pack) might wear out quicker.

I have some pictures of both LSDs. Have a look at the two pictures.

Yes, GU is a more comfortable ride from what I've heard. I"m guessing they made some improvements to the suspension?

I don't have Diff Locks in my GU, and have never worn out an LSD over four of them, so they are still very strong...... if that makes any difference for you.

My GQ had the factory rear locker so I can't directly compare them, but I know I used to get stuck more often with the open rear diff, so the LSD obviously does have an effect.

As Winnie said earlier, Simpson is well and truly OK without Diff Locks, and it is all down to tyre pressure. Don't be afraid to drop your pressures, and you will make it far ... just make sure that you have a good quality compressor to pump the tyres back up for the road sections at either end .....
