7.5 gm auburn 26 spline posi

Will this replace my unit in my 1987 2.8 t5 Sport Coupe w/3:42 open diff?

I want to upgrade to posi and want to know if thats what I need? Thats cut and paste from an add.

Thanks

Pass on the Auburn. There are much better differentials out there. The Eaton Posi would be a great choice, and the Duragrip is also a great choice for a little less money.

You will have to shim it to set the backlash and bearing preload, but that has to be done no matter what differential you use.
