I have Slugmobile's one. I replaced with a Peloquin.
Don't have any idea of value though.

If I remember correctly Slug had a Future Auto posi unit??
They were pretty good, I had one for a while.

Thanks

peloquin is the only option these days. i dont think slugs old posi would survive in my car, i had a phantom grip years ago. im running a spool now and its too hard on the car for street use/abuse. my car in full tune should make around 500hp. i was hoping for another option like te obx i have in my other setup.

You may be better off getting a new Peloquin then. I've bought two of them one in Slug and on for Mini's new tranny.
You might be able to get it for $950 dealing with them directly. I was able to get a discount on the second one. Anywhere from 1000-1100 from venders.

The Peloquin is awesome!

If you can get machine work for a decent price you can just put the obx in the auto. I think it needs a ring gear spacer.

A friends car has one in it and it's outstanding.

i'd be interested in seeing the one you removed from slug wayne and interested in possibly buying it, let me know.

I've got some pics I took last year in preparation to bring some parts to sdac.
I don't know if this is one from Seth Prentiss and his guy Pat (Future Auto?) Or if this is the original Chuck Noonan built one. I'm sure Gus did have it serviced at least once if this is the Chuck Noonan one.

[Vigo]

I'm glad you replaced that.

I had one of those spring loaded block insert things once. Didn't really help much. I used it in conjunction with a "bulletproof" spider gear shaft.
In defense of the spider shaft, i never tried to fire a bullet at it. It may very well have able to withstand that better than it survived a short time in it's intended function.

[onerippinturbo2]

oh, i see now, it's basically a phantom grip.

[wheming]

That is what was available for use back in the early/mid 90's.
By comparison there is more parts and support for our cars now in some respects than when they were newish!

I can't tell from the picture if this is a Future Auto unit or not but the Future Auto unit was far superior to any phantom grip. They actually used a clutch between the axle gears and the carrier and face of the axle gears were machined smooth.

Thanks

I can inspect and try to get a better pic. Either that or I'll pack it up an bring it with me to sdac for show&tell. Although I don't think Seth will be there, and he would be the best person to ask.

Oh wow, a REAL limited slip conversion. That's pretty cool. I would think a clutch type limited slip would wear out pretty quickly on a FWD, especially with the ridiculous spring pressures of something like a phantom grip. But while it worked it would work well.

Are you running a Tim Kish spool, I might be interested in that, I have a new Quaiffe still in the bag....

Yeah you're already ok with doing a 12-point turn on a 4-lane highway so why not, eh? Just messing with you.
