my understanding- daryl correct me if wrong- is that a limited slip (aka Positrack- like the General Lee :-) is not an option with our transaxles. To put a diff lock, you would need a syncro case and the solinoid and vacuum stuff. I recently (last night!) heard that you are looking about 800$ in addition to a rebuild... How many times will you use it???? Is it worth it? Now limited slip would be sweet. -Matthew Matthew Pollard "Racing with the wind and flirting with death Dept.
