Too sweet.

What's the figure 8's for 30 min and changing fluid all about?

Time to get her back on One-Take!

The figure 8's and fluid change is how you break-in a new clutch type LSD.

I asked Matt Farah to do another take, but he declined because the original video didn't get over 100k views. It's ok, I'll just find someone else to review it!

Very interesting about the clutch break-in, especially to a mechanically handicapped individual such as myself. Still don't understand how it helps break things in, but it's a trip nonetheless.

In respect to Matt declining - to quote one of my favorite flicks...

"Always the dollars, always the fuckin' dollars."

Awesome ride, man. Just top shelf

Here's a video of what's inside an LSD, lots of tiny clutch plates. They need to rub against the metal plates and create a matching contact pattern.....just like your main transmission clutch or brakes.

It's even more interesting to feel the LSD lock. You can be going around a turn normally and just hear the clicking, but then you accelerate and HOLY CRAP CALM DOWN CAR...haha
