Good or bad? Got a guy that has one for sale. Disc brakes included.

It's a stronger piece than the 10 bolt you have. What gears, options, miles, and condition is it in? And the most important question of all, what's the price?

I actually have no idea. lol. Comes with everything. Brackets, rotors, calipers, proportioning valve. Differential.

$400 bucks.

A little steep, but maybe worth it. figure out what the gear ratio is for sure.

If it's limited, and a decent ratio I'll buy it from ya. Wink

If you don't get it, forward me the guy's number.

That's a good ratio for an auto car, or one with a .70 T5.

Lol. I wanna get it. I just need like $200.

I've got a T5.

3.73 are better. 3.70 for a 9 bolt rather. Plenty of OD gear, but helps you take off faster with less clutch slip.

$400 for a complete good working order disc 9bolt posi is a good price.

If all you want is traction you can do that a lot cheaper by putting a 4th gen Zexel Torsen (1999-2002) limited slip in your stock housing. It's a type of mechanical locker that won't wear like a clutch posi. You can probably get one for $150. I sold one about a month ago for $110. I think shipping came to less than $30 out to Idaho.

Well I want the disc brakes too

Al Hasse · Posted: Sun Jan 16, 2011 6:46 pm Post subject:

It's not a hard job to swap the entire rear end housing. The most difficult part might be attaching the brake lines and cables.

Twilightoptics · Posted: Sun Jan 16, 2011 6:51 pm Post subject:

Zexels are getting harder to find. When I bought mine for the Chevette, I ended up paying $200 for it cause it was the only one available local/ebay/etc.

nonsensekid20 · Posted: Sun Jan 16, 2011 6:53 pm Post subject:

I always thought Zexels went out easy.

Yeah rear ends are pretty easy. Brake lines shouldn't be too hard. Hopefully. hahaha

Zexel Torsen's. I've heard they go out a lot and need to be replaced.

You may want to see how loose the cones are. They aren't exactly cheap to repair or rebuild. I have one that needs a rebuild and the cones machined.

And this site is helpful for parts.

If the cones are loose the differential is about to go out?
