That auto diff just drops right in doesn't it? But still has the short gears? Whats the best way to get the long gear ratio in the sc?

Good luck with it,

Ian

Nice find. Those are not easy to get your hands on, and it looks like that LSD is in good shape.

Best of luck on the swap.

Default thanks for the input

ive never seen the inside of a lsd so i was hoping someone would chime in.. guy i bought it from has 100% rating on ebay after about 150 transactions. so i guess he is trust worthy.. he claims this lsd has less than 1000 miles but you never know. im glad someone thinks the internals look good .. cause i wouldnt know..
