So if the vc slips as you said surely that implies its passing some power!?!?

it is not, to my knowledge, directional.

That's what I reckon, as long as there's some slip it makes it sticky(technical term) so so drives

but it cant "drive" if the rear is turning faster than the front" .

agreed.
everyone seems to know and accept that an FL1s rear drive/wheels are slightly undergeared compared to the fronts so I can't see why they don't realise that that means no 'driving' force is being applied under normal conditions.

But it's the friction from the heat produced as the liquid is agitated through slip that makes it 'stickier', if you like. Yes, there is a difference in rotational speed between the front and back wheels, the back wheels turning faster by a marginal percentage, and even if this small difference warms the liquid, its the temperature above a certain level that makes the liquid nearly solidify, not just the fact that it gets warm. Apparently, although I've not had a chance to experience this yet, but the vcu gets very hot when this happens.

So on a rear drive car with a limited slip, are both where's driven? When both going the same speed! Or does it drive one and the other just keeps up?

Limited slip diffs work in the opposite way, in which they put drive to the easiest route, that why in mud, one wheel spins like mad, and the other one doesn't. Weird I know.

I reckon peanut butter would be a good filling for a VCU innit.
would have to be a non crunchy though

Trust me, MHM, this is nothing compared to the 'Plane on a conveyor' debate, as discussed on another site................. won't go into it
You could break it down into tiny little pieces, explain word for word, and you will still get a hundred different answers.
