Motive Gear was showing off their latest in differential technology at the 2013 SEMA show with two differential products new for 2013. The first of these Motive showed us is aimed at the street performance crowd for applications making in the 300-350 hp range. The Powertrax Grip LS, is a clutch type differential in a forged steel case. This differential uses a set of carbon clutch discs to provide traction as needed, is rebuildable and serviceable, and aimed squarely at the street machine market. The Powertrax Grtip LS is available for many popular applications including Ford 8.8 and 9-inch rear ends, as well as GM 10 and 12 bolt. Depending on application axle spline count is available in either 28 or 31-splines.
PowerTrax Grip Pro
The PowerTrax Grip Pro is a gear driven limited slip differential designed to be the strongest and most durable in the industry. This differential also features a forged steel case and computer designed gear profiles. Six worm gears provide greater load carrying capacity and heat dissipation. Motive’s Jeff Belknap says that while tire size, axle, vehicle weight, and usage always play a role in power handling capability, this differential should be able to handle around 550 hp safely.
The PowerTrax Grip Pro is available for most popular applications in 31-spline, including Ford 8.8, and 9-inch, as well as GM 10 and 12 bolt. Both differentials are available now.
