M6 Swap

besides the gears is there any diff. in the rear ends 93-02. im trying to swap mine over and the one im putting in is out of a ws6 and i think it had traction control cause there are electrical connectors that go out to each side of the rear end, and i looked at mine on my car which doesnt have traction control and i dont have them. will this rear end still work on my car if i swap over all my old brake lines and just pull those harness' off?

Hah I'm yo man I jsut went though this!

93-97 use 11.7" brakes 98-02 use 12" brakes. 99+ has better posi. which is torque sensing vs the older friction cones (98 and older)

That's it.

They are the same width..I think the LT1 Brakes clear the 15" Draglites better..

the rear end is out of a 96 WS6, but do i have to swap out the axles, dont the axles on a traction control vehicle have a ringed gear on the outside of them?

I don't know, I'm sorry :\ Mine didn't come with traction control, so the one I got didn't have it either. All I know is the ABS works off a gear between the carrier and ring gear.

I also wasn't able to find anything via Google or Google Images, oddly enough.

I have done this. I just extended the wire that used to go to the differential housing over to the driverside sensor. Seems to work fine for me.

I have a 93Z and put a newer rear end cause mine was howling when i bought it. I have only heard of this on tow occasions but the rear i put in was a hair bit narrower. When i place the wheels on and torqued the lugnuts the inside of the rotor hit the caliper mounting bracket that i swapped over from my LT1. I had to remove the caliper and have two ~1/8" spacer cut to go on behind my rotors to clear the caliper mounts. Like i said i have only heard of this happening to one other car so it may have been a fluke.

I fixed mine with the grinder

what about the brake lines, did you just swap your old ones over from the original rear end

Everyone knows that stock GM Auburn is not the same as Aftermarket Auburn. I just don't like friction cones I guess because my 91 and 93 have the same problem. Will put it sideways around left hand corners much much easier than right hand. My 91 90% of the time on dry pavement would just spin 1 wheel (and yes, it WAS posi rear).
