Oh I do have the disc on the sun followed by two star plates to the outside. It’s still pretty locked for my taste. Maybe it will loosen up with use or heat, but as it stands now, I will keep trying to open it up some more, either with thinner fluid or swapping the discs for stars. I’m basing all of this on the experience of others at this point because I simply don’t have enough star plates to even try it yet. My plan is the get a solid few bashes in this setup before making any other changes. If this setup holds then I have two choices that work. The shimmed V4 held up too.There's probably a tiny difference because of the holes in the disc vs. the sun gear which is pocketed, but... ? If you move the disc to the top you have the mated disc sliding instead of the sun gear. But it's still only one thing sliding, all you're doing is covering the sun gear with the disc instead of having it grip directly against the star plate.
If you've ever used a 3 pad slipper clutch, it's the same thing.
Try moving the disc up against the sun gear, you'll find it drops the LSD action by more than half.
