with a 3 geared box and external idler gear you have the motor, slipper assembly and layshaft, and diff / wheels rotating in the same direction causing more of a 'kick' to the rear end upon acceleration.

When you have a 4 geared box installed you have the slipper assembly and layshaft rotating in the oposite direction which counter-acts the inertia of the motor - this will reduce the 'kick' to the rear slightly upon acceleration and reduce stability and traction slightly.
