Well won't be any sideways pics, (maybe some snowtime cyclones though) I was working on a video last week and toasted another welded rear diff, I wasn't even clutch kicking when it went out but I had once prior and holy is it a violent tire spin. So in the last month, been two welded diffs and two not so cheap tires trashed it was fun and glad to try it out. But my wife and I now have another kid on the way so going back to awd and put in a lsd rear diff from the '00 RS my current trans came from.
Anyways here's some pics from welding the center diff, I'll be putting up for sale.
Center diff disassembled, clutch packs (not shown) bearing halves and spider gear and forward transfer removed to lose awd.
Splined transfer gear welded to center diff cover
Cover welded to center diff assembly, sorry I don't have a tig, so mig welder works just fine but not so pretty.
