'98 C4S - front differential replacment
Hey all,
I need to do a replacement of a shot front differential. New is pretty steep price . Anyone have a lead for used / reconditioned ? or just recommendation to put in new?
posted on 993 forrum and they suggested one of your guys that have removed the front diff might have one laying around for sale......
anyone? midwest USA based
Thank you!

Hey Dave,
Can your shop simply disconnect the front axles and the front driveshaft so you can drive your car until you get this resolved? And, as I mentioned in the 993 forum, unless you really need AWD, this may be the ideal time to convert to 2WD. I wouldn't do that to Rufus (490+ HP), but its quite safe enough in a C4S.

When the one in my TT blew I got one from Oklahoma Foreign for a good price. I did the swap myself.
I did as Steve said a few times and disconnected the collar to the drive shaft a few times just for fun. Took longer to get the car in the air than to disconnect it
