Don..Yes a locker setup can be installed..as well as a plain old Torque Biasing limited slip...Or both... in the 5 speed case...Main case is the same, so adding a locker case during a rebuild is the time to do it. All it takes is cubic $$$..call me if any questions. Daryl of AA Transaxle 425-788-4070 "On the cutting edge of old technology"

Since you're ready to go to the trouble/expense, the LSD might be a good alternative depending on your use. bob On Tue, Dec 1, 2009 at 9:17 AM, Don Hanson <dhanson928@gmail.com> wrote: > Can the differential and the transmission come apart or all they all one > thing?
