From TH...

.....a heads up.If you are considering buying a Torsen ATB diff and have encountered supply problems you may have a long wait. At the moment it 'appears' that Ford Racing will no longer offer the ATB diff for the MTX75. This poses the question can/will Torsen supply 'other' outlets with the diff? This and other Torsen supply issues are currently under review buy 'other' aftermarket suppliers within our industry. Bottom line.....this will not be resolved overnight and, at this moment in time, the next 'maybe' date for more MTX diffs is 'around November' so don't hold your breath on this one. If you need a diff your current only choice, unless you can find an owner selling one, is a Quaife.

Yeah, makes sense to stop producing products that fly off the shelf and have 1-2+ month backlogs of orders ... WTF!

Whatever. Can't get my darn early diff to blow up. Guess I'm stuck with stock.
