slp posi
hey guys i waswondering where i could get that slp posi unit that is 100 bucks?
does the posi unit come in 26 and 28 spline axles? i don't know what spline axles i have yet so i can't buy one until i put my gears in. thanks.

is there a way i can tell what spline axles i have other then taking the rear apart to get to them?
edit: i heard that if it's a 9 bolt rear it's 26 and 10 bolt is 28? dunno if thats true or not though

If you have a 9-bolt you can't use a posi for a 10-bolt anyway, so it doesn't matter how many splines it has.
No there is no other way to tell what splines you have. IF your car is a 90-92, and IF you are absolutely certain that the rear is original, then there's a near 100% probablility it has 28-spline axles, and the SLP unit will fit. If you have a 89, there's about a 20% probability that it came with 28-spline axles. If your rear is 88-back, then there's virtually 100% probability it DOES NOT have 26-spline axles unless somebody has put them there; in which case you CANNOT use the SPL unit unless you get 90-92 axles.
This should be a sticky. This question gets asked an awful lot.

so then my rear wouldn't be a 9 bolt then correct?
i have an 89 so i guess i'll have to find out when i take it apart. now since i have a 2 series carier for my 3.42 gears to work all i need is the ring spacer right?
