Was perusing old copies of the PCA newsletter and came across a for sale ad of an 87 951 that had a 968 6 speed with a "GT3R differential". I don't even know what questions to ask. Is this actually a thing? The newsletter was in 2012 and you can read it here. The seller was Rich Winnick.

968 Manual with a GT3R Differential?
That makes absolutely no sense.
On an unrelated note, I noticed they had the information for a 944 specialist to talk to. Never heard that name before, but I wasn't around in 2012. Has anyone heard of them? Who's that guy, but for today?

It makes total sense. The 968 gearbox uses many G50-based parts, including the differential assembly. Any G50-based LSD will work in a 968 'box.
