Im looking for a new rear end for my 82. I want to get an limited slip differential in my car. Does anybody know what my best options for this might be?

Also, where is the best place to buy full rebuild kits? i know they are about 800 bucks, give or take alittle bit, but does anyone know a cheap place? thanks. peace.

JOsh

 

Any GSL or GSL-SE model rearend has LSD and rear disc.
The SE rearends are slightly lower geared and stronger. As cheap as replacements from a salvage yard are I would not mess with a rebuild.

Good luck

 

Sorry to hijack, but is there anything that I can swap onto my '79?

 

An 82 or earlier GSL diff would work, I think.

 

is this for all years?

my '3 GSL has all round disc brakes.. but im pretty sure it doesnt have LSD

 

North American GSL's and GSL-SE had LSD. not too sure about the Aussie ones

 

If the rearend has disc brakes, its got LSD.

 

is that only in ammerica?

coz im sure as hell that i dont have LSD, yet i got discs on the rear

 

maybe yours is just bad.

 

I think it should also be mentioned that the GSL-SE rear end also has a different bolt pattern for the wheels. If you swap in a whole -SE rear end, your stock wheels won't fit. The best idea is to go with a GSL rear end.

 

Your LSD might be really worn. Mine had a breakaway torque of only 30 lbs compared to 90 new. Lotta slipping.

park car. block front wheels. car in neutral, brake off. jack one of the rear wheels up in the air and put torque wrench on it. The torque required to turn the wheel is what your breakaway torque is on the LSD.

 

cheers.. ill see what i can do
