I need zexel torsen parts badly!
Im in need of some parts for my 99 trans am! The parts im looking are ,The thrust plate that goes inside the carrier between the axle shafts, the bolt for that plate. And both C clips. If anybody here has them are some of those parts please contact me! Thanks Jim.

hey jim the axle "c" clip retainer/lock is readily available thru GM just go to a local GM dealer and order part # 00344171! the thrust block and bolt on the other hand you cant get thru GM with out getting the whole carrier assembly so you are going to have to find someone willing to part out a rear end or a junk yard unless a after market company sells one in a kit or something but chances of that slim to none, that i've seen anyway! hopefully that helps some, sorry for the somewhat bad news!

Needed Torsen Thrust block / paddle
Hello,
I broke 4 teeth on the 4.10 ring gear (7.5) and apparently the pieces hit the thrust block / paddle and cracked it where the bolt goes through.
This is ccvair's post so after he gets his parts if anyone else has a spare Torsen thrust block / paddle please PM me.
Thank you.

ccvair did you get your paddle & bolt?
ccvair,
Did you get your paddle & bolt already as the person in the prior post says they have one? If you have yours please let me know it is OK to PM the person from the prior post. I don't want to hijack your thread and would like to ensure you get your parts.
Thank you

ccvair got his paddle
Hello,
I received a PM from the originator of this thread (ccvair) that he received his Torsen paddle & bolt.
I have received a few PM's about getting one, but I have not been able to finalize a deal yet. Hopefully I will be able to install the parts soon with my new 3.73 GM OEM gears with a TA cover.

torsen
Mine just did the same thing, I installed 4.10's 5k miles ago but since then I daily drive to my new job 80mi a day and its killing my suspension/rear. I really need a 3 series torsen, or auburn or anything LSD 3 series, my gears are good. Just need the torsen T2 unit, paddle/bolt are good also, I can paypal $100 ASAP for a torsen or auburn 3 series in good shape.

They never manufactured that part for separate purchase to my knowledge. You would have to buy a complete unit or at least a broken unit with that piece still intact. Luckily, I have an extra complete torsen, 2 extra bolts, and one extra paddle. And I ain't parting with none of it

There was a thread somewhere here that explained cutting the stock ford housings down. The biggest problem is (as you should know) you cant just hack away at stuff. It all has to be square and true, and careful attention has to be paid because it has rotating parts inside. If you were to invest the time to make a jig, and go through all the steps necessary, you could see how it would be an extremely time consuming venture. I think thats why most steer away from it. I'm a certified welder and I personally wouldn't fool with the headache.

fabbing
Yea I ended up finding an f body rear complete with only 1500mi on it, I only needed the LSD but the guy didnt want to mess with it so he sold me the whole rear for what I was offering for the LSD. I am not "certified" but I have a couple certs in welding/fabrication through TTX and Union Pacific from when I repaired railcars, currently I am working at a good sized welding/fab shop building semi trailers for scrap hauling from scratch. Around here the only certified welding available is a 1 year deal from a tech school and the companies take experience over the certificates always, kinda sucks. I had a known monster truck rear end guy in my area show me how to build a jig to weld the 10 bolt tubes and it came out great and the rear ended up having an auburn HP series LSD with new motive 4.10's that werent set right and thats why the kid I bought them from thought they were bad gears cause it whined bad. I now have 3.42's back in and 2 sets of 4.10's im trying to sell on c-list but nobody has called. I am wanting to build a 1999 xplorer 8.8 but would like to see one built first.
