Don't weld the diff, and If you decide too, make sure whoever does it, has done them before, and be prepared to break stuff. I've broke front pinion shaft, and tore the drive gear right off my old AWD trans that had a welded center diff. probably saw 10-15 launches. The trans I have in now with a stock diff has probably 20+ launches on it already and hasn't broken yet. The tires get some sort of funny hop I with a welded diff, and I think that can help stuff break.

Ill tell you I paid 2600 for a stock rebuild through aamco transmissions and I feel like a complete idiot for doing so when I could have had a stage 4 for the same price.... this is when I was a newb and had my car for only 2 months and this was 4 years ago before I start getting bashed for my stupidity.. I recommend you send it to shep for a stock rebuild at 900 if your going that route.

Using the correct oil goes a long way also. I personally Like the Mitsu Cocktail MTL/MT-90. I've used Royal Purple before and that was ok. Just don't dump in some Amsoil GL-5 fluid in there. It has to be GL-4 rated too, and GL-4 isn't an old rating that is replaced by GL-5.
