In our TC finals my car just slowed right down and then towards the end of the race seemed to speed up. I had this happen before when the tyre jumped off the rim and was wearing on the steering hub. This time it was the diff.........it tightens up when turned in one direction and loosens in the opossite!
I run the M05 diff with the 416 screw and lock tight on the nut. Haven't had any issues.
