Default Rear end code for a Diff ?!?!

I called a Differntial Company this am to inquire about their Diff...

I ask price and application, Im told it will fit the R200 rear end of a Nissan 240sx. Im told this is from 89-92 (s13 Obviously) I've never heard this before ? Its usually by chassis code. Is this the correct info ?

Im skeptical due to the fact when I asked if the Differental was Mechanical he said "whats that? No its a clutch type" Im thinking to my self Uh.. I used to OWN one of your diffs I know you make a 2 way Mechanical diff.

I talked to him and tried to explaine to him what a 2 way was, during the stint of our conversation he stated that "our differentals dont lock" Im "like they dont" ? Ummm.. how do you get both wheels to spin ?

sigh.. So now Im not too sure about this place

Yeah For the Money you cant beat Precision Gear. Cheapest Diff I've found and works like a mother fucker too

I was just baffeled that when I called them they acted like I was speaking in tougnes.. I had to explaine what the differences were. I just called again and spoke to another person to reassure my self. SO they have what I need and I'll be ordering my diff in the upcoming months. Yeah for me

Thanks guys for the help. I never knew we had a rear end code. Appreiate the help

I'm under the impression that clutch = mechanical = X way. I think a lot of the Mullet diffs are clutch-type, which is why you always see LSD additive at Pep Boys. I know that my friend's 98 Trans-Am had to have a diff oil change at 10k miles(!).

By the way, when you mention a "locking" diff to an american parts slinger, they will immediately think of the locking diff on their Jeep Wrangler. Those diffs lock by hand by turning the hubs, and truely lock the diff 100% of the time.
