You are right. I downloaded the manual off the AE home site. It clearly shows a standard ball diff on the front and back. Both identical to each other.

The new-to-me TC5 that I bought had a diff up front with white rubber like pads and the adjustment screw tightened so that it just didn't move period. I've been fighting the way it drives since the day I got it. I assume that a solid front end like that was stock. Not so. Can't wait to drive it on Sunday now! I hope it will make a big difference.

While I was in there with everything apart, I cleaned and rebuilt both differentials to like new condition.

Here's what the track looks like where I race:
