limited slip differential question

[jonesybu]

i recently purchased a 2000 trans am rear end for the brake setup. before i junked the rest of the axle, i remembered that they had limited slip diffs and was wondering if i can use it in my malibu. i test fitted it in my rear end and as far as i know it looks like it will work other than the ABS reluctor wheel barely rubbing the inside. can i just remove the reluctor or should i grind the inside enough for it not to rub.? i realize i will also have to get axles because of the spline difference. i wasn't sure if anyone new about this or has done it before. any help would be appreciated. thanks- brian

I know the carrier will work but not sure if the ABS ring is removeable or not.

thanks man. i guess if i can't remove it then i'll just do some grinding in the housing. it's just barely rubbing anyway.

The relucter is just a press on item. You can either press it off for someone to reuse OR cut it off with a grinding wheel if you do not care about it. You will need aftermarket 28 spline axle shafts and you will be GOOD to GO. Jim

PM if you need help with the 28 spline axles. Jim
