Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has any info on what the diff is in a 997 GTS with -20mm sport PASM and locking diff.
Is it the same as the 997 GT3?
Gearbox is out at the moment so would make sense to do the diff at the same time.
Jack

Neil, thanks for that. So basically when it's worn out, that's it. Either replace it with another unit or let it run as an open diff?
Any data on what the pre-loads and ramps are on it, anyway?

The car has 45k on it. I look it in because of occasional graunching from 1st to 2nd. First plan of action is to replace the clutch.

Ok, that all makes perfect sense.
I'll have a look at the Guard stuff and see if they do a replacement.
So even with PSM switched off it's mainly the electronics controlling braking, etc that acts as the diff?

Well that solved that issue!
New gearbox (including diff) goin into the car later this week. Apparently Porsche supply the gearbox complete with diff unit to replace the old unit.
Thank god for that warranty!
