    Since there is some renewed interest in this I will post here.
    I still have this 4.10 diff, along with a 3.25 and a 3.73. Currently running the 3.73. Diff ran strong and has worked great, just not that awesome for highway cruising. 3.73 is a little better, but would prefer a 3.46, 3.25 is a little too long with the G260.
    Not much to say really.
    For info on backlash/what have you see winfred's thread on the OBX install.

    I just bought a 3.73 open that was advertised as a 3.73 LSD...
    And I have 2 2.93 LSD's sitting around. I can get down and dirty with this. This is not something I'm terribly afraid of, but having the torque #'s and stuff would be great.
    How did this work out for ya? I'm in basically the same situation and was thinking about tackling this.

    What does it take to replace the pinion and such... wanna take my 3.25 LSD and make it a 2.93lsd from an open for my daily M50 swap car. What kind of removing process is used and where can the shims be found. I have dial indicators and such to check the freeplay. Is this something that can be done somewhat easily?

    Any details on your diff build ?

    esp the backlash settings/clearances ?

    I'll reserve judgement until this car actually drives around with this rebuild .
