If your just looking for a temp fix just weld your open diff. No point in buying one if your gonna use it for a bit then det something else.

open the LSD up and shim it, check out the "shimming LSD" thread

you wont even need to buy another lsd.

I too would just weld yours till you got the money for the tomie. I dont like the vlsd at all. I do have the tomie 2 way from eat motorsports and it is amazing! Kinda loud though.

Don't bother trying to swap a vlsd in your open diff housing. It'll get pricey. You don't just bolt it into the housing, you have to set-up the bearing pre-load and gear pattern. You would be better off finding a vlsd that is already in the housing and just swapping the pumpkin.

well, were i live i can get a vlsd rear end for 75$. So If you can i would say go to a junkyard and pick up a vlsd, maybe a small shim and good oil and your set.
