Anyone have experience with a welded center diff? I am looking into a new tranny and the one I found has a welded center diff. My car is used for street use but is only driven on the weekends and sometimes during the week. What is your guys opinions?

I wouldn't do it unless it's a dedicated track car. It will drive like absolute crap on the street.

I have one in my trans and I drive a hell of a lot more than on weekends. If you have PS I would go for it because of the extra traction. But if you don't like me, it's a PITA to get out of parking spaces. I hear the tires chirp all the time when I park somewhere I can't just go forward out of. I've even killed the car because reverse gets "notchy" when the tires chirp.

Yeah, don't do it on a street car. I have one in my car and I will be taking it back out (welded VC actually, but they act the same). It is hard on the drivetrain and if you get a big clutch, it can make taking off from a stop much harder.

You could remove the welded diff and shim in a 4 spider diff.

I talked to shep and he said I would need a new center section which runs about $900.
