Ahhhhh.....the Phantom Slip as we call it over on http://www.gt40s.com

A few people have tried these with GT40s and a few have tried them in SCCA IT.  Nobody that I know (know well, do know of some working but don't really know the people) has been satisfied with the results.  It is essentially a spring that goes in the spider gears and the reports from people I have trusted said:

1) Didn't do squat except lighten my wallet $400.

2) Seemed to work slightly, before the pressure on the spiders ruined the bearing races.

3) Didn't do squat, except ruined the bearing races.

I might be tempted to try it though because I do know of one FWD car running one and they love it.  Seems with low horsepower cars like the JH, lots of FWD cars, etc. there might be a chance, but the ones I've seen give negative results are all over 400 real horsepower with torque to match.
