I may be acquiring one this weekend with 138k miles on it (otherwise sounds like good condition). Here it goes...

1) What is the locking % on these?

2) After 138k miles, are the clutch packs still any good typically?

Thanks all!

i have one on mine

1) 25%, same as on the medium case lsd

2) how's it been driven? could be great, could be shagged.

be sure to get it good and hot (at least 20miles on the highway) and listen for whine of various sorts during loading, unloading, acceleration, etc.

Clutches wear faster on them as they are smaller obviously. They are tough enough until you have enough power to badly overheat them. They don't like hard launches or lots of power, they get a little iffy then. Same deal as a 168 open basically.
