Hello William,
Positive track has a friction clutch built into the diff. This is not a solid axle and has spider gears but the ability to freely move is limited by the friction clutch. With a true diff. spinning one axle will make the axle on the other side spin the opposite direction. This same action will take place with posi-trac but will give resistance to this action.

Hello Robie,
What do you mean by positive track differential? Does it mean that one axle can turn, or not turn, independently from the other? How would I know if my axle has it? Thanks for your help.

One word of wisdom or food for thought. Befor you get too far down the rabbit hole, make sure that the Golf Cart Rearend/axle is a positive track differntal. Other wise the alt will lock up the free spinning side while the prop turns. We tried this a few years back on a differnt project only to find out we needed a differnt 3rd member.
Cheers
