If you don't change the drivers side driveshaft circlip or don't fit the axle correctly, or leave part of a damaged circlip in the diff because you think'....thats OK,.....'I'm not pulling the trans and have it stripped to get it out or be checked'.....BECAUSE YOU ARE IGNORANT of the damage that clip can do...then 'Rock on '.,...This diff (Torsen), had its 'sun gears' almost welded together because an owner didn't use his head and take good advice. Now the Torsen is shot(less than 2,000 miles), the sun gears are ripped up and it took around 22 tons on a press to disconnct the two gears from each other. Skimp on that clip, save a few bucks...'it's ok'...yeh right. TH
