Yeah, they never sent in a transaxle (or just the diff) to the manufacturer to use for developing the LSD. I contacted them and they said we could do a group buy here, same conditions, they would need 10 orders at $850 and we would have to send them the OEM diff from the desired model (3.2 6 speed, 2.7 5 speed, or 2.5 5 speed). Naturally I am interested in the 3.2 6 speed model They would provide whoever runs the group buy with a free LSD. If it were me I would pass that along to everybody and collect 11 orders at $775 plus whatever it costs to obtain the OEM diff and send to them (maybe one could be rented from Woody or someone that has a transmission laying around)

From reading some of the other threads, it sounds like install is not an easy DIY and there are some adjustments or something that need to be made when installing it...

If someone wants to run this group buy I can supply the contact info for the company.

Edit: isn't the 986 S transmission the same as the 996 transmission (although something has to be different since they turn the wheels in a different direction?). If the diff is the same maybe we could jump on that 996 group buy and get it moving again?
