Re: C5 Posi is toast (c5man99)
Are any of these rears "REBUILT" with 3:73, 3:90 or 4.10's??
I posted this a while back. I was curious to know the condition of the posi that was in the case before they rebuilt it. For all we know they could have had 50-100K miles...

In my case, the Diff came out of an '02, very low miles......leaking side cover, warranty replacement...........it was a 3.42 that I used for my 3.73's.

they have stuff for about any posi of any kind from any manufacturer
including stronger than stock

Sorry to hear that things are breaking... but you know what they say about racing... if things arent breaking, you are not trying hard enough... ;)
My understanding is that the diff in our cars is a limited slip... If you built it for a Posi, that would prob help out your drag racing.. :yesnod:

Re: C5 Posi is toast (c5man99)
Sorry to hear that your having trouble Marc..But this is whiy I purchased 3.73's direct from Getrag..Nothing like a new component with a warranty!
Hope you get it sorted out real soon..I'm looking to get to the track in about 2 weeks and I could use a partner for the Moroso dial in runs... :yesnod:

Re: C5 Posi is toast (vstella)
Try a company called auburn gear. I don't know if they make anything for the C5 but it would be worth looking into.

Vince,
Unfortunatly, with the power we are putting to the rear, an OEM dosen't seem to be able to handle it.....we think the clutch packs need to be shimmed tighter. :steering:
