SLP take off posi units...will it work with my open 3:73s?

I have a 1992 Formula G92. I had the 3:42 posi rear in there stock until I broke it in half (long story). Anyway, I picked up a 10 bolt 3:73 open disc rear off a buddy of mine and it's installed. Will SLP's take off posi unit work with this?

Heres SLPs info on it:
1999 CAMARO / FIREBIRD OEM REPLACEMENT ZEXEL-TORSEN
POSI-TRACTION DIFFERENTIAL

Fits: 1989-2000 Camaro / Firebird w/ manual or automatic transmission. This is a 3 series carrier for a GM 10 bolt rear.

Part # 64501T $99.95

Now I remember my father tried swapping my old 3:42s into my new rear but he couldnt do it because the axles were smaller on my new rear? (does that make sense?)

Also, how do you tell how many splines you have? Does it matter with this take off unit?
thanks guys.

The Torsen diff will indeed fit the ~89+ 10 bolt rear axles. From approximately 89, the oem Auburn diff for the 10 bolts was made for 28 spline axles. Prior to 89, the 26 spline axles were used and won't go into teh Torsen diff. Therefore, your 10 bolt axle must be an 89+ to have the 28 spline shafts to fit the Torsen. Otherwise, you'd have to buy new axle shafts as well.

Another point, the 3.73's gears must be for a 3 series carrier which the Torsen is. There ares some 3.73's that are made to fit the 2 series carriers.

To verify spline count, you must pull an axle shaft and physically count the splines.
