Subject:      anyone put a locking diff in a 2wd?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"


So, it looks like I'm gonna need a rebuild, after taking the ol' tranny
out and fiddling around with it a bit. If anybodys counting, I posted
last week about a rhythmic knocking coming from the transaxle/clutch,
corresponding to a "sticky" spot in the input shaft rotation. It went
away when I took off the gear carrier housing (the part of the case
opposite the bell h.). Darrel at AA thought it was due to pressure on
the main shaft. So, its off to him this week.


He says he can put in a locking differential (I guess it would need a
new case, too). Anyone have any experience with this? Seems like it
would be the next best thing to a syncro, with the independent rear
susp, andall. Or is it just another thing to go wrong?


Seems like a couple weeks ago someone posted about this being available
commercially sometime soon, but I couldn't find the message. Anyone?


Happy to hear all reviews, opinions, heresy, arguments, prophecies, and
drivel.(well, except the drivel)


Cheers,
 Jeff
