can you make a 96 rear end which has the abs connector on top of the pumpkin work with a 01 car which has the connection at the wheels ????

If you don't care about ABS, it's easy.

The only way to make a 3 channel rear work in a 4 channel car is to use axles, backing plates, and sensors from a 4 channel rear. Swap the backing plates and axles with the reluctor rings onto your 3 channel rear and it's plug and play. Just ignore the sensor on the pig.

If you're putting the 3-channel diff (with the single plug on top) into a car with 4-channel (sensors at the axles) that's much easier since you can do as Al said and just use all the 4-channel hardware (axles, brake backing plates, sensors, etc.).

HOWEVER, if you have a 3-channel CAR, and want to put in a 4-channel DIFF, not so easy :rolleyes: ... then you'd have to screw around with pulling the reluctor ring off the carrier, drilling the hole in the top of the pumpkin for the sensor ..... I dunno, for how many of these diffs are out there, then it's probably easier just to locate the correct one in the first place! ;)

But to put a 3-channel diff into the 4-channel car? ..... not so bad! :thumb:
