      Thats the "Getrag rattle" (worn layshaft bearings). Mine does it a bit too, nothing any normal passenger in the car would notice. How bad is yours? As im sure you are aware it isnt anything to be concerned with other than the annoyance of the noise.

      There is/was a guy on the east coast that sold rebuilt transmissions (primarily for specE30) for about $800. Search for it on r3v

      Mine is really loud and I don't know if I want to pay "That Company" that much money for old arse parts...

          Won't I have to get a 2.93 diff?

                As in you have a 2.93 LSD?

                I have also read that you can put an extra LSD clutch in the stock diff?

                  Yes. for more lockup. you don't NEED a 2.93, but it would be a little nicer. Would be a good winter project though! And it will help the squirly-ness on straight line beans giving. The clutch packs, not the ratio. 

                  but seriously throw the getrag out. no need when zf's are better and cheaper.

                      Zf would be worth the couple extra pounds.

                      Yes, I do have another 2.93.

                        When we are talking about making 600+ftlb I don't think the extra 20 lbs over nearly the center of the vehicle will matter lol. Getrag is a lost cause at that point anyway. And they shift so much nicer.

                          Got a 2.79LSD from GunMetalGrey. Now doing research on ZF swaps now with a focus on which driveshaft to use. Any input from y'all would be great.

                          Ordered a twin disk UUC clutch over the shopping weekend. Had a special deal going on. Got a t-shirt, clutch stop, Evo-3 shifter, braided slave cylinder line for free plus $100 off the order.

                          Gearing up to make this a reliable freeway ride. Taking it cross country this summer.

                            Corrected because I spread wrong information( I HATE THAT)

                                      Nice progress.

                                      Let me know if you ever stumble on another LSD. I will eventually need one once my 4.10 goes out.
