[s-cars] Rear Diff Install Questions

[Bill Mahoney]

Thanks Cody,
Please excuse my ignorance, but what can you tell me about this
differential vacuum lock?  i.e. whats it do?  Where's it located?
What's it look like?  Where's it connected?  Can I re-route it to the EM
for more boost;) ?
Could you elaborate on the performance, particularly trackwise if you
could comment.
Cheers'
Bill M

Hey Bill,
	Yes I do have a Rear Torsen Differential from a V8.  Bob Pastore
saved my butt by quickly sending me out a diff. after I foolishly
destroyed mine in about 2' of snow ;-)
	I had ASW put the Diff. in and it works awesome and saved me
some MAJOR cheese from a new unit.  I cannot comment on the exact
"how-to" of the process but I believe it is only 2-3 hours of work for
an experienced mechanic.

The only question I still have is it sounds like the differential vacuum
lock is still trying to activate or meter when I shut the car off as you
can hear sort of a buzz from the diff.  Anyone know how to shut this
off?  Just a matter of pulling a fuse?

Thx

cp

Folks,
Welcome back Igor and..
I am planning on installing a new (old V8 torsen) rear differential
installed next week and wonder if there are any BTDT's  WRT to this
procedure?  Parts needed?
I thought Cody Payne?? may have done this (or outsourced it.)  ???
Anyone else?
In looking through the family album I could surmise hex bolts, gaskets
and grease are needed at least.
Any other suggestions or help would be much appreciated.
TIA
Bill M  -Clueless as usual;)
