you'll spend more time, and more money trying to find a transmission that meets your needs than it would be to just build one.

it's not that hard.

the only 88-91 D-series LSD's that were available were the ZC LSDs which use the larger splines, so you'd need to get custom axles.

Your best bet is to contact hmotors and get a ZC trans and maybe look for one with an LSD. But even then, you'll have trouble finding the halfshaft + axles. Plus the 3.888 final drive sucks.


If you care about hybrid gearing, i'd get a ZC trans and drop a si final + si 5th in it. then use an OBX LSD.

You already have the DX/Si/TegZXi 1-5 (all same)... you could just get a better final drive gear (Si, ZXi, aftermarket 4.7, 4.9) and an OBX LSD. Check my signature for my setup. If you can get a ZC tranny then that's great. Different final drive would definitely be a must IMO.

To get the best performance out of the LSD you'll need to take it apart and rearrange the Spring Washers for maximum preload. See here for information.
