Yes there are planet gears on most lsd's. The ford vlsd does have them. If the rear case is opened on one most people looking at it would think it's an open diff as all that is see in the centre are the planet gears.


I did not say dangerous. They are too unpredictable for road use. Yes you can use it but with caution.

On wet trackdays I find the welded diff a big pain in the ass. It's too hard to control over steer or under steer. But in the dry it's fine.
