venturaII: same with clutch type diff. It works on different principle, but it will slip a bit => friction => heat, and here you get again overheat, degradation of oil, extra wear, failure. Think of driving for two hours with dragging brake. No time to cool off, just more and more heat buildup. Fluid long since boiled but you keep driving that way.
There is reason for diff cooling solutions to exist. Be those extra finned covers or even solutions with external rads. But constant dragging/heating for long time in my eyes seems even worse then race abuse.
