Does anyone know if SLP is still selling zexel-torsen diffs for 99$. Been doing a lot of searching and can't seem to find them.

 

I called SLP about 4-5 years ago or so and they no longer had any. The take-offs were from the cars they were modifying at their shop so once production stopped in '02 SLP quickly ran out of take-offs.

 

You can still get them cheqp. Bought one off ebay over the winter 75 bux to my door

 

they're still available new at normal prices but those sales were from nearly a decade ago.

 

Thats what I kinda figured, thanks for the replies guys, just got this camaro and im trying to build it up on a budget, got the car and tranny for 650 and had a vortec 350 already. Ill just have to keep searching on ebay, or im gonna get a powertrax.

 

The Zexel is the upgraded version and was never sold for $99. They took out the stock Torsens, which sold for $99, and installed a Zexel-Torsen in its place.

 

@91 1le thanks for the correct. I have mostly been into trucks for the last 15 years and i never heard of the torsen or zexel. I just bought this camaro and im trying to build it up on the cheap, I ran across some old threads talking about it and it sounded like a perfect posi upgrade for cheap. But for me a powertrax would prob be best so I don't have to set up the gears(which is the only thing im a little scared of doing)

 

Not quite. Zexel was an earlier company name post-Gleason. The T2 and T2-R are the two common gear bias carriers which have been made for the small GM 10 bolt by "Torsen" the company.

1998 F-bodies with limited slip had an Auburn posi.
The SLP option that year was a Torsen of some sort. Not sure if it was the standard Torsen T2 (no clutch packs; just gear bias) or the T2-R (clutch pack friction limited slip built into a gear bias carrier.)

1999-2002 F-bodies had a T2 standard.
The SLP Option was an HD Auburn. Because of this upgrade by SLP, they had take-out T2 Torsen carriers for $99, among other take-out parts.

So sometimes, "upgrades" are merely "changes."

I don't remember if the stock 98 Auburns were sold as take-outs but it would be interesting to find that out for the thread about what SLP parts have been sold over the years.
