I don't even remember what site where I thought I saw it (and a quick search here came up empty) but I thought a limited slip in one of Jake's trannies was a $1,500 extra. At least that is how I remembered it, and that was before I found the Type IV for my 1302 and went with one of his trannies with a super diff.

(Don't get me wrong. I'm not scoffing at $1,600 as chump change. I'm just rimmaging through my head what I might want to do, and this price is not totally unexpected.)

Again sticking with the 5-speed theme and an LSD, you would recommend a 901 from a 914 and a Quaiffe. Would you recommend a different transmission or a different linkage to get rid of the sloppiness? Is a short shifter another possible consideration? And would I be able to custom gear it to whatever the remaining parameters of the Thing would be?

(Please bear with me if some of this requires repeating answers. I also don't mind other approaches to consider.)
