ZF transaxles came with two completely different kinds of limited slips: the 
clutch-type that are in maybe 98% of all Panteras, and a sprag-type unit found 
in some GT-40s, most racing GR-4/GT-4 Panteras, some Mangustas and a very few 
early street Panteras. The sprag unit was popular at one time for 
long-distance racing since it put far less heat into the lube due to clutch-plate 
slippage than the later ones, but it also needed rebuilding more frequently- and 
Lloyd Butfoy is about the only place on the planet you could go to get one 
serviced. This looks like a sprag-type LSD; Tomas Gunnarsson's pushbutton Pantera 
also had one like this. Tomas- comments? FWIW- J DeRyke
