Where do you find a G80 differential? What models would it be fitted to?

Thanks,

Justin

940 Turbo's is the most common place to find them to my knowledge, but not all of them came with a lsd. Pot luck really. I have owned 5 940's and only one of them had a locker. Sorry I cant be more help.

My Trans Am has a LSD and no driver aids whatsoever!
It's a bloody big lardy handfull in anything but bone dry conditions, in fact it can be a handfull in the dry!

Most of the 940's had a 1031 axle sticker and the G80 one is a 1041. It's located on the drivers side part of the axle and will need the crud wiping off before you can read it.

I got the idea that all late 940s had a locking diff. Is there two different types of lockers or is it just the G80 ?
