I have one of those diffs in my pumped out slash (now owned by my son). It's got about 2 years on it now and it works perfectly. I recommend it.

That kit is not on the list because it has pads made from aluminum I would not recommend that kit BTW as aluminum is not a good material to use in a slipper clutch I mean it's aluminum on steel need I say more.
