I was on a WEB page a few months ago that had them, can't find it
now.  I also remember the dealer ass h*le parts guy, telling me I
should have ordered a limited slip axle, when I was buying the vacuum
switch for the lock setup. He was shot and died shorting after this...
not by me.  THe dealer micro-film showed the limited slip axle.  I
have a GTI transaxle here that has a limited slip axle.  This is
obviously a well kept secret.
