Honestly - I wouldn't hesitate to fix the one I have if it hadn't already been done twice (maybe more that I didn't know about - previous owner had said it was rebuilt once).
Looking at the 987 solely because there are many more low mileage ones out there. But I can't afford an additional $3k on top of the trans for a new LSD unit. I also have two new rebuilt axles on the car now and two more rebuilt ones in boxes. I know I could sell the stuff but.......
Not many 986 boxes out there and all have high mileage, but they are a considerably cheaper than the 987 boxes - about $1500 versus $2500 with more than double the mileage though.
