If I wanted to run the Mugen HT diffs, other than the diff kits themselves, do I need to run different pinions in the gear box or just what I have in there now?

Any other parts I need?

few pages back I made a post.. Diffs themselves drop in..

You need to grind the face of the AE pinion down some. It will rub on the case.

Or you can run Mugen Pinions, with small oddball bearings that give you issues..

I would wait for the new AE diffs if you really want HT diffs. Then you can plan and have parts all the same.

Werks Pro Clutch with a heavy flywheel and 2 composite 2 alum shoes or a Buku clutch for taming down my Speed Spec III?

Need to know so I can order.

Also, will the stock bell work with the Buku? I know it doesn't with the Werks.
