You really ought not post about stuff that you're not certain about. Spreading misinformation doesn't help anyone. You don't need to post in every thread.
That being said, the late 240 axles shafts are shorter which allows one to use a G80 without modifications. It has nothing to do with 940 axles or their length. John did not put a 940 axle shaft into his 240 axle because that does not work.

Ohh, so the G80 diff can be popped in from a 900, but the rest of the system still uses 200 parts?

I think that clears things up. I've not had to mess with my diff besides changing the oil yet, so I'm still learning.
On an entirely different topic, my family widened its driveway to acommodate more cars.

Sorry dad. I'm almost positive I remember him saying he installed a 940 g80 without doing something. Maybe he just took the whole insides of the diff out and didn't touch the axle halves. Idk.

I'm not your dad. If I were, you would still be on restriction.
You probably remember him saying something, but get your facts straight before you post please. Misinformation doesn't help anyone.

I don't get the "I only paid x for it so I don't want to spend y!"
You've only got 200 bucks invested, if you dump another $300 into it you've got a $500 car, that's peanuts.

Hell, that's still $200 less than I paid for my car. Not even counting fixing leaks, trying to stop rust, replacing synchros in the M47 (a futile effort, I'm sure), buying a stereo (mine had none), getting a OEM tachometer (so it matches) to try to relieve stress on the tranny, fixing the AC, and whatever dies on me next week.

That is what he said. And it has nothing to do with what you said. 940 and 240 axles are not the same length. The point is, don't repeat what you've heard unless you understand what is being said and you verify that it's true.

It's an affliction usually reserved for 7-9 guys, but now the 200 kids are getting it too.

I'm a 200/700/900 guy and it's not something I've ever had. I just assume when I buy an old car that I'll spend at least what I paid for the car catching up on maintenance.

^^ In which case I would part it out and crush what's left.

I was probably drunk. What I meant was that he was able to install the g80 into the stock pumpkin without shortening his axles. I believe that's what he said. Obviously the 940 axle has much different suspension mounting points than a 240.
Yes this is what I remember hearing.

I still made $500 cash + set of virgos in trade parting out a rusty 86, not including scrap value (I lost the title but still got it towed free) and spares for my 87. I had like $250 in that car.

How much metal was in the oil you took out?
It's probably an abrasive soup in there by now.
Lol I stripped the drain plug. I just slapped a couple HDD magnets to the cover. Doesn't seem to have made much difference though.
