Default G96 diff upgrade??
So, do differentials from GT2/3 and turbo's fit into std 996 gearboxes. I have tried searching but came up with nothing.

Yes the diffs are the same physical dimensions as the LSD in the 996.

Every site I check out for LSD's states 996/ g50 tranny, but I was under the impression that g96.00/01 series boxes weren't "g50" style. Glad to hear I have diff options now. I will be using my g96.00 in a '65 VW Bug with tires much smaller than on the back of a 911, so traction may become an issue. Not to mention that in VW gear boxes 2-spider geared diffs don't survive anything over 100hp, obviously the g96 diff is stronger but I would still prefer more than 2 spiders.
