Everything you wanted to know about picking a Differential!
This episode of the Podcast is a little different.
We have a Modena differential in the shop, and we are going to be taking a close look at it so I put up a picture in our Community section to see what you all would want to know about it.
In response I got a number of great questions about differentials in general. And rather than answering them each in the comments, I decided to answer them in the form of a Podcast!
The idea here is that this should be more helpful, and make the information easier for others to find and use.
Let me know what you think about this format and if this goes well, I think that this is something that I will try to do more in the future.
Thanks for watching and Stay Tuned!
