What he meant was that you dont have to track down an elusive 84-85 GSL-SE if you want an LSD 3rd member.
All the 12A powered GSL model cars from 81-85, came with an LSD.The GSL is the top of the line model with rear discs and all the options.They were the precurser to the SE,but were also sold alongside the SE during the last two years.
You just have to be sure to get the right one,depending on what housing you use.The 81-83 cars had small axles and bearings,the 84-85 cars had large axles and bearings.Apparantly,the GSL limited slips are actually better than the GSL-SE units, since they have more clutch discs....although the SE unit will come with lower 4.07 gears....

Any 83-85 manual driveshaft will work with the SE tranny and any 83+ rear end.
