I tried that with a touring car I built last year that came with ball diffs. I inserted one Teflon peg in place of a diff ball. It worked great for the first few minutes, but as soon as the diff lube worked its way out from between the peg and the thrust washers, the diff got really sticky. I had to loosen it to the point the diff balls weren't really doing their job anymore. I never bothered to try it again.
