    Shelby Limited Slip Diff

    Does anyone have a pic of one of these out of the car? This would be for the non-525 transmissions. I would like to do a 3.50FD trans in my CSX if they aren't like the 555 diffs.

    Don't open that trans! There's secret one off Shelby Skunkworks sh!t in there. Pull the seats out and shampoo the interior or something...

    Re: Shelby Limited Slip Diff

    I only know of the one for the 525. It's not limited slip so much as locker. It's a cam-and-pawl setup. I have some pics 4 L-bodies sent me in my email but i need to move them to a hosting site before i can share.

    Is there one for the later trannies i dont know about?

    Dont push the red button.You hear me?

    We'll see. If I can change out the ring gear and main shaft I'll probably do that. Jon and I were driving home at around four grand most of the way.

    There is apparently a viscous style one for the later transmissions. I've seen them referenced on occasion, but I've never seen a pic of one.

    Oh wow. I havent heard of that. But, if i had to guess i'd say 4 L-bodies would be one to ask. I definitely want to know more about this!

    Same here. Cruising at 4K out west isn't the way to go if I can get a 3.50FD in there which I already have on the shelf.

    Re: Shelby Limited Slip Diff

    I am trying to purchase a 3.05 gearset from an a465 to put in a 520 case for my spirit, but i havent heard from the guy in a while. The 465 gearset has the same 5th gear as the 525 3.05 set but 1-4 are different/taller.

    Dont push the red button.You hear me?
