"Thanks for the inquiry. Is that the 4-speed 84-up like in the Fiero?
If yes, we are currently taking pre-orders for a EP lsd for thiat transmission. The unit is currently in development. We should have it ready by late Jan. or Feb. The pre-order price is 500.00, you'll save 75.00 off the retail price. LMK.

Anyone here ever had any dealings with this company? Just thought I'd share...

That website has come a long way since its start. Looks to be a great quality product and a good price. Shouldnt the hm282 differential fit in a muncie 4 spd??????????????????????

I was surprised to find a company that actually made these for a 20+ year old transmission. Put a smile on my face anyway. All I got to do now is come up with the cash for the deposit. Till now I thought these were only available for getrags.

i dont think it matters the differential should all be the same and therefore allow for the use of the limited slip. Gear ratios are determined by the input and output shaft gears, not the differential.

but isnt the final drive gear dependant on a matching diferential gear? in other words doesnt the differential used have to match the final drive shaft you are using? or the gears wont match up right.

the "final drive" is deceiving - the trans goes: final drive, transmission, differential. so, the final drive is actually the first gearing after the clutch

I wouldn't feel safe ordering something for 500$ off a company who uses a FREE website......
Mike, you have PM.
I use a free website b/c it is fast (I don't have all day to sit and create a world class website). But mostly 'cause it's free! As my overhead costs go up, so does the price of the differentials! I have a home page and a legit business, too. Refer to my profile.
BTW, I've been here at PFF for a while and never mentioned it once, so don't think I'm trolling either! LOL!
We do Fiero engine swaps. Just finished a '86 Fiero-ghini 3400SFI/4T65E/turbo. If anyone is interested in that, or the lsd, let me know.
So, anyway, I spent the past three hours searching the forum here and the internet and came to this conclusion:
The 4-speed differential is not only different than the 5-speed Isuzu or Getrag, but it appears to be much beefier, too! Building the lsd shouldn't be a problem. I just need one out of the trans to protoytpe. I have had many people ask about the 4-speed going back at least a year, but no one has come through, yet. It seems the closest I have come to finding someone who wil step up to the plate is Michael Smirnoff in RUSSIA! I don't even know if he's on PFF. He found my <FREE> website while surfing. I LOVE that <FREE> website. It has sold over 150 differentials in the past 20 months!
I offer a lsd for the 125/440t4/4t60/60e/65e/65e-hd/40e/45e automatics, as well as the Getrag 282 and the Isuzu 5-speed. I think the Muncie 4-speed and the 4T80 Northstar are next (I have a -80 core coming this week). The other hold-out is the "new" Getrag in the Ecotec cars. Soon, I will offer a limited slip for ALL GM FWD transmissions from 1979-2005. And all from a little (and I mean LITTLE) shop in Atlanta with a free website. LOL! No offense, dude, and none taken. I'm just having fun.

Im curious about your product. Unfortunatly your website has exceeded your allowed bandwidth usage. Really, you want to do something about it. Well, anyway. I happen to have a pair of 4 speeds laying around. one is a 3.65:1, 4 speed and the other is a 4.10:1, 4 speed. If you want them or just the differential's from them, perhaps we could work out a deal (I have a 282 that could use an LSD....) But more importantly, I want to know about what type of LSD unit you are marketing. Hopefully your site will come back from wherever its gone to. I can't get anything out till next year though, cause my transmissions are at home, 2000 miles away. And I wont be home till christmas. But let me know if you're interested.
damn, I wasted 270 bucks on a phantom grip, and im assuming that it wont work as well as a true unit.
I could never bring myself to buy a phantom grip for that much money when its just two blocks of metal and 4 springs that cost about 15$ to make - I thought quaif had torsen-gleason style lsd's for the getrag and isuzu for about 700?
