Eaton has come up with a brand new limited slip posi differential with carbon clutches specifically designed for performance C5 and C6 Corvettes.  Not only does this new system give you the traction you’re looking for on the street and track, it’s also fully rebuildable and especially compliments modified and high-horsepower vehicles.  The new Eaton Corvette C5/C6 Carbon Clutch LSD (part #PS-70-P-20001).  “This unit is completely unique where it has a 3 pinion design,” Gwozdz told us, rather than the typical 2 pinion gear layout. “It [also] has net-forged gears and we have our own plant that make these gears.” Net forging, a process that produces parts that require very little machining to reach their final, or “net” shape, creates gears that are both lightweight and strong.  In addition to the 3 pinion design and gears manufactured in-house for durability, Gwozdz told us that the new C5/C6 LSD features custom-made alloy axle shafts, which are 30-percent stronger than factory axle shafts, and a T5 aluminum case, produced from the same material that is used in aircraft and aerospace components.  The new Eaton differential is the only Posi of its kind to use this technologically-advanced material, and it’s lighter than the factory part it replaces.  The carbon friction materials used in Eaton’s new LSD enhance the differential even further, giving the clutches more longevity by reducing wear and clutches work exceptionally well under high pressure, adhering even better to one another as they heat up. 

Eatons New Billet Trac-Aid Differential comes with hardened shafts Left and Right, No Bevel Washers (that often fail in stock carriers), 3 hardened Spider Gears vs 2, Spiral Loc half shaft retainers, all this in a billet aluminum case that weighs almost 6 pounds lighter than stock.

Available for Corvettes from the 1997 through 2010 model years, the Eaton C5/C6 LSD is the perfect performance addition to your late-model car. In addition to base model Corvettes, the LSD will also fit on Z06 models with a fitment that accepts 3.15:1 or numerically-higher rearend gear ratios for all applications.  The LSD is not currently available for 2011+ model year Corvettes, but Gwozdz told us that Eaton will be continuing their work on future Corvette applications.
