Diff rebuild parts advice

[bigjae46]

Why isn't this a more popular option here? $1500 and just swapping r&p over seems like a deal? IIRC something about output flanges needing to be equal length, Obioban possibly?

Just need to swap the ring gear. Messing with the pinion gear is when it gets complicated.

I don't think most just won't see the value and spend the money. Probably couldn't tell the difference.

For track use, you want a mechanical clutch. It locks and unlocks faster and it has a lot more adjustment.

While I understand I’m leaving some performance on the table, the wavetrac really is a great OE+ option. No downsides va stock, works with one tire on ice, no clutches to wear out, silent, easy.

Cant wait to get mine, now when i get round to installing it is a different story LOL

V1 or V2?

Diff is a 2004 I honestly am not sure how to check which version I have, unless racing diffs have upgraded to a version 2? It has been a couple of years since I rebuilt the differential.

You can pull one axle stub out and see if it is the short or long stub. I forget which one has the long stub on which side.

So what are the cliff notes on v1 vs v2? The previous owner put a 2006 MY diff into my car for some reason I can’t figure out. Curious what the implications of that are if I decide to upgrade the diff at some point.

IIRC V2 short stub is on driver side, just swapped the V1 out a couple months ago, which is why the wavetrac is interesting. Don't want to dump a bunch of money into rebuilding it and already has a 4.1 on it
