Default Limited Slip Differential

Since there is not much info about this I thought I would share. So I have a 2000 non winter package outback, manual trans, and really wanted a limited slip rear diff. Therefore for $180 from a junk yard I got one out of a 2002 winter package that was in a real good shape, changed the fluid and bolted it right in. Works great now.

How were you able to verify the condition of the fluid in the VLSD unit?

I didn't, just changed the diff fluid and prayed for the best-works fine.

A little off the contents of the topic, but well within the title

Check my posting on the SVX forum - both of these will fit an auto Outback too, the front diff all 4EAT models for sure, just maybe the 5EATs too - haven't checked that out (yet ).

Also the VTD tranny will make a huge effect. With the turbo charged EG33 torque the front wheels have no chance with 4.444 gearing and the 4ACT tranny. Really frustrating.

The Modena front diff is from Flatironstuning in Colorado. Only a few were ever manufactured.

I had Detroit Truetracs on both axles of my trailie Range Rover - just loved them. Work the same way as the original Quaife Torsen.

Kind regards,

Tapani
