2004 Front LSD
that's really way too broad based of a statement - a proper 1 or 1.5 way LSD would certainly not play havoc on the ABS at all - lots of AWD cars have both. The diff simply needs to be right for the application.

As reported in the new issue of SCC, a limited slip diff. on the front would play havoc with the ABS on our cars since we do not have AYC. That is why the RS has the limited slip and no ABS. Honestly, how many people here would know the difference if you were driving with a quaife or not (without being told)?

To clarify:
The front diferential is not in the transfer case - it is located in the same case as the transmission (transmission/transaxle). The center dif. is located in the transfer case. The transfer case bolts to the transmission/transaxle assembly. The front dif. does not have a ring and pinion per se.; it has a large helical gear mated to the dif. gear.
You cannot buy parts from Mits. for the transfer case. You can buy parts from Mits. for the transmission/transaxle.
When the transfer case goes out under warranty Mits. puts in a new unit.

The _center_ differential is insode the transmission where a normal FWD tranny woud have it's front diff. But in the EVO, it is actually the center differential.
You are correct about all of the parts inside the transfer case not being able to be purchased separately (other than seals and o-rings). Yes Getrag can make some tough parts if they are contracted to, but the problem is that they dont like to sell parts separate. When something fails, you need to replace the whole assembly at a pretty high cost.
