what's involved in a differential swap??

My understanding is the 996 trans is very similar to the 986 six speed. The diff bolts to the ring gear and if you use the same shims when you re assemble it, it should work. My indi rebuilt the lsd in my box. When he opened it up he could tell by the wear pattern on the R & P the factory shims where not dead on. He used the old tried and true paint and test to get it right. No need to get into the gear stack to do this.
