[DeTomaso] Shelby Diff - Ebay

[Tomas Gunnarsson]

This is a pic I got from Mike Trusty of a Dash-0. Looks like a match.

> With that single pic it's hard to say exactly what the difference is to my dash-1 (clutch equipped) diff but I see some differences. My housing extended further to the right in the picture, virtually up to the roller bearing. My housing has the right side virtually straight, not cone shaped like this one. The right side of the housing (which on dash-2 bolts in place) was welded to the center section with one massive bead weld. This one looks like it's made in one piece. This smaller housing would not hold a clutch type diff using the same parts that I saw which supports Jack's theory of this being a sprag unit. Since it's not even bolted together it should be pretty easy to just pull the left side off and peek inside. The dash-0 part of the ZF manual we all use indicates no spring loaded parts inside.
