I now have a used axle sitting in my garage with no brakes, no backing plates, no reluctor rings for the ABS & traction control, and a squeal from the driver side bearing. Basically, it's near worthless except the fact it does have a 2-series carrier Torsen limited slip (2.73 gears).

1. Does the Torsen drop into a 3rd gen 10 bolt?
2. Do any of you yahoos want it?

The Torsen is not a clutch style posi that wears out. It's basically a mild mechanical locker that locks up when wheel slip is detected. No wires, no electronics. It came in LS1 cars from 1999 - 2002. (1998 still had the clutch posi.)

Okay, so I was really lazy and threw out question #1 hoping one of you guys would do my homework for me. I bucked up and did a search myself at thirdgen.org and found out the Torsen carrier does drop in as long as you have the correct spline count on the axle.

How much you looking to get for it?

I'll send you a box of dog poop for $32. Grade 'A' dried up logs that you can throw. Good deal if you ask me.

That's a pretty cool piece you have there. Can you not use it on yours? I think the torsens have the least amount of breaking torque. Doesn't someone have a spec for all the breaking torque for the different carriers?

Spoken like a true engineer, asking for specifications. Heck if I know the specs. Laughing

The other axle I picked up had it's own Torsen carrier with 3.42 gears. This old one is a 2-series carrier and I don't have a need for it. Remember, this Camaro is just a temporary buy and sell for profit. I don't want to keep anything from it.

By the way, I just let a clone of my '01 SS go for $6000 on another no reserve ebay auction. It was a steal. It was in your neck of the woods in Oregon. So it's happened twice now. I'm pretty sure if I keep watching I can do this many times over and make some money just by concentrating on 4th gen SS cars. I have yet to see a Trans Am that is a good deal.
