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...

100$ zf trans from dons sports cars(google them) and get the DS at the same time. Refresh the shift detents, seals, and throw that puppy in, and make some POWAAA
Won't I have to get a 2.93 diff?

I got your back on that.

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.

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.

Nice progress.
Let me know if you ever stumble on another LSD. I will eventually need one once my 4.10 goes out.
I have a 3.73 lsd with your name on it! GunMetalGrey has a couple also.

Is this supposed to be a solid trans mount deal? I have a couple uhmw condor mounts attached to a crossmember sitting in my old swap car. But they are damn 1" thick uhmw with a clearance hole lol. A whole 3$ worth of material.
