It blew the tranny out in my friend's CRX.....and it was N/A....It basically destroyed itself inside the tranny and took out the Diff.

That's not the Diff locker. That is the 5th gear deletion piece.

definately would not reccomend. They cause extremely excessive heat and can cause catastrophic failure of your diff and tranny. Just find a type R lsd. That's what I did and was happy as could be with it.

lol. I dont know about all the luck because I've had my share of problems with this car and I think the tranny is the only thing thats not been a problem. It will go out tomorrow since I said this.

I don't recommend the Phantom Grip, either. The one in Clemson Spots Car Club's 1988 CRX Si let go at the start of an autocross run. Destroyed the transmission case and parts of the differential. The the gears in the transmission were salvagable but the cage that holds the diff pin was toast.

well I can not comment on this unit for other cars but they are complete trash for the SRT's.

I would only use OEM or quality aftermarket. No subsitutes
