Think I found my Torsen...
 

So I'm in contact with a guy who is parting a '94 5-spd Miata, and is offering the whole rear-end hullabaloo for $400. So, assuming it wasn't a base model, I'd be snapping up a decent deal for a Torsen, yes?

Actually $400 is fantastic price for everything including the torsen. If it is not a torsen, don't back out. All the other parts are worth it without the torsen.

(How come when others edit my posts, there names don't pop up as editor??)

+1 - very good deal for a 1.8 driveline. You can always add an rx7 clutch lsd to it later if it IS an open.

If you buy it, bring it over & I'll give you hand with the install. It'll probably be easier with a lift and a tranny jack. :bigtu:

I appreciate it. It certainly wouldn't be fun with my wimpy little floor jack ;)

you dont need no stinking floor jack to install a rear end! just a friend that can remove/tighten the wings of it while you bench press it into position. ask me how i know........

(and no, I'm not a big guy, only 140lbs)

Sounds like you had a ball. I don't envy you on that one.

No tranny jack necessary here, either.

But a floor jack perhaps? ;)

i used a floor jack.

Hey guys, I'd be more than willing to do it in my garage with a floor jack, but if Ben is going to offer use of his lift, I can't reject his kindness. :rolleyes:

:cough:pussy:cough:

:rofl:

+1...was interesting.

Lol.. I weigh 135 and I pressed it up by myself... wedged my knees up against it and put the nuts on by myself.

Whats this jack and friends helping crap :p

Just the jealousy talking.

They're just pissed I can do a clutch by lunch. :eek:

I know where I'm taking my car when the trans goes - BEN'S HOUSE!

Picked it up this morning!

think ben will have it installed by the weekend?

I probably won't touch the Miata this weekend, as I have to work most of it.

Oddly enough, my name is Ben also.
