I have collected a few spare ten bolt carriers over the years (my old LT1 m6 used to shred ring and pinions and I would just buy complete 10 bolt rears for it) to play with and I was wondering if the internals from the 2 and 3 series are the same. Can I put the insides of a 2 series torsen in a 3 series just like the with the Auburn style?

Also can I just swap out a carrier with another one and leave the same shims if the gears are still fine and were set up ok?

No one has done this?

At one point you could not even take a Thorsen diff apart without sending it back to them to get it reassembled ,, there was a jig that held the gears though the side holes to make sure they were timed correctly. I think they fixed that.. True Tracks should not be disassembled for similar reasons.. YMMV..

Most of the time,yes. Check/record the 'lash' of the current setup,install replacement carrier and check lash. ALSO best to do a 'pattern check' before and after too.

I went ahead and swapped my broken torsen carrier for a good used Auburn one I had without really checking anything. It seems about tight enough and even quieter than before but I could be crazy. I'm still going to pop the girdle back off and double check the backlash when i can borrow a dial indicator before I try another set of sticky tires
