I wanted to buy the $99 slp limited slip diff i've read about on here but can't find it on their website.If they don't have it any more where can I get something as good around the same price?

 

They ran out.

Those were the take-outs from new cars that they were putting the SS package on.

Unless you can find some chassis with the GM 7.5" rear end and using the Zexel Torsen carrier in it, and somebody that's upgrading the carrier to make a special model based on it and therefore has the stock take-outs to dispose of in quantity like SLP did, I doubt you'll have much luck finding anything similarly priced (basically "used" pricing for a near-new part).

 

Powertrax is probably the next best bang for buck.

 

whoh that's still $425 bucks that's the cheapest diff there is?

 

yea, but figure that you wont have to have the rear end set up so that is a bundle of saved money.

 

Are you saying the gears are set up with the unit?? Sorry, I don't know much about rear ends at all. Can you choose your ratio, or am I way off here.lol

 

The powertrax unit replaces the spider gears only. The ring & pinion remain undisturbed, so no setup is necessary.

 

oh yeah I also have another question and figured I'd just continue in this thread. What part is it that i would need to hold 4th gear in a 700r4 at full throttle.

 

I think the best bet nowadays is to find used rearends from wrecked 4thgens or parts cars. Good chance you can get a relatively low mile posi, better gears, and LS1 brakes for pretty cheap. Not as good as brand new or the ones SLP used to sell with 0 mile, but still pretty cheap and probably better than what you got in there now as far as milage. This is how I'm doing it for my Z28, got a rearend from a '00 SS. Good budget route but not as reliable as brand new.

 

if i Bought a Zexel what other parts would I need to make it work

Gears(obviously), bearings, pinon seal, crush washer, and Differential cover gasket.

 

Ohh, thanks for clearing that up.
