an asymmetric clutchpack setup is not the cleanest way to build a lsd but i did some on customer request as well and it seems to work quite ok indeed.

i still do not understand how a "mechanical ramp" is capable of "30/60/90".

you mean 30/60/90 is the percentage of torque difference of the two drivewheels until the lsd opens? or what is this "30/60/90" thing? what does it describe or stand for?
and when does it "30", when "60" und when "90"? i struggle to understand it if we take physical laws as given and even diffsonline is not able to go beyond these laws ;-)
The diff is able to do 30% , 60% or 90% lockup depending on the forces applied to the wheels . So it's similar to the 0-100% lockup behavior of the m diff but much more durable with a faster response . The faster response is from having good pretension with the multiple clutch packs . Again how Diffsonline physically constructs the diff is not known by by me , i just know it works and works well .
