    I could get you one shipped in from NJ rather easily. But obviously shipping would be more than it's worth. Offer's there if you need it though.

    do you have the empty housing or the whole thing?

    if whole thing, then shipping would be costly

    I have one for a '94-97. Also have the Torsen, driveshaft and half shafts if you wanted to switch everything over.

    don't know if repeated 2 to 1 shifts, locking up the rear tires and nearly spinning the car had anything to do with it

    car has lots of Pro Solo action on it and years of nothing but autocross

    I don't have it - but I know a few people in NJ that have them. I want to say I know 2 people with VLSDs and more with just empty housings. I was just making the offer as the middle man.

    I personally traded my complete VLSD setup (driveshaft, axles, diff + carrier) for a 1.8l driveshaft.

    thanks but I have a VLSD now, so looking for a known good VLSD or just a naked housing or bad diff for housing only for a spare

    so, I'd only be interested in yours if it is about a give away

    I have a line on one of those, but no deal yet

    I got one at the rents house. I threw the guts away as the R&P exploded and I have no need for the rest.


    Should I bring it to dallas next time I go up? Or Nationals?

    What's a good price for the housing? $40?

    A '91 case and VLSD for sale on the Production forum. Looks like it might be in the DFW area.
