      Please do a search on "LSD" and "posi" - you should find plenty of information.

      If you want positraction, or a limited slip differential (LSD), you need to be sure you are running 3.23 gears or higher - otherwise it won't fit and you'll need to upgrade your gears when you do the install.

      Also you will need a differential of some kind (the differential is what makes it positraction). Most people here choose the maintence free zexel-torsen differential - but there are other kinds you can buy. Check my "how to" guides on my website for information about other kinds of differentials - I have a complete comparison between the ones available for our cars.

      Usually you can pay a shop $120 or so to have one installed plus the 75W90. I paid my dealer to do mine and they did a great job for me - you might can work out a deal with yours when you get ready to install it. Its also an option to save that $120 and do it yourself, just be careful - its not difficult but you need more than just a socket wrench to do it, and jackstands are no fun. [img]smile.gif[/img]
