I choose to use the Quaife in my Lotus Eleven because I wanted a smooth
powere transfer, ie no clunk, because if you could se how the diff is held
into an Eleven w/ deDion you would want it to be smooth too. That's why I
bought a spare Quaife unit(Sprite) for my other ratios when I change from
one course to another.
