kid??....far from that junior......laugh all you want, we are sure that his car DOES NOT have posi....the car SHOULD leave the stripes in a straight line.....that is what its supposed to do, and in the corners i doubt that it can lay down duals, you realize how much power it must have to spin the inside wheel, with all the weight on it??? it just may have the 3.33 gears to make you think that it the car is spinning the wheels as apposed to screeching the tires in the corners

(and the correct term even if the car did spin 2 wheels is a LSD)

chill dude, I just want some cheap posi

I'm just saying what I've seen. It'* just a stock monte with the 3400.

And he doesn't have the 3.33. His first gear shifts at 53mph. Redline is 6k.

I didn't mean to make some controversy, I just want to know if anyone has heard of this or if it is possible to swap the [possible] posi from it'* diff with my gears.

It'* a 3.4 DOHC. I'm pretty sure it'* Z34, it has twin dual output exhaust. And it'* a 96. I'll ask him tomorrow about his RPO codes, and since it'* snowy as crap we'll do a real posi test... one wheel in ice one on dry.

With FWD auto transaxles, can you lift both front wheels off the ground and spin one side to see if it'* limited slip like a RWD axle?

There was a time when one of my cars wouldn't do that.

That differential is now sitting on a shelf in my entertainment center.
