i just picked up a complete rotor-rotor 3 channel rear end out of a 93 TA. Whats the easiest way to swap it into my 4 channel car? The 3 channel has 3.73s in it. Cant I just swap the differential from the 3 channel into my 4 channel?

The very easiest way would be to install the '93 rear as it is, complete. You won't have ABS or Traction control, which many of us prefer not to have. Bob

then i would have to deal with crush sleeve, pinion nut bullshit. so would it be easier to swap my 4 channel axles into the 3 channel rear?

sorry bob. i didnt see your reply when i posted my second question.

your idea would be easier. a lil concerned not having at least ABS just in case wife drives car

Teach her threshold braking, meaning you push the pedal down just to the point that the brakes will almost lock up, in a panic situation. Bob

You want the ABS!
While converting my 3 channel to 4 channel I drove a lot without the ABS. It can get hairy. It's not about threshold braking, it's just that the bias is very front. Didn't notice it so much at the track since that's such a controlled environment, but many time on the street I found myself dealing with front lockup, a real problem while heavy braking on higher speed turns and during avoidance maneuvers.

I agree it was sure nice to be without traction control!
