Pre 91 Cdn 240s came with a open diff,  
post 91 came with a VLSD

All diffs are R200 style  
You will need a shim kit to be safe when swapping (if you do so) as and discprepancies may cause big problems.

There are many companies that make 1, 1.5 and 2 way diffs, as well you can weld up a open lsd for consistant equal load to both rear tires.

ok, there’s nothing wrong with just swapping the back plate. Taht will not cause a clunk.

The clunk is most likely caused by the pinion gear being damaged, or the tolorances for play in the gearing are either too tight or too loose. I know the exact names of the tolorances but I’m tired and for some reason the words are not comming to me. They may be a result of damaged bearings, worn teeth, or incorect shims. The only wat to find out is to have someone look at the diff and test all the tolorances and inspect the ring and pinion gear, as well as the shims.

I like toyota and mazda diffs because they do not have shims, but a threaded locating nut on either side of the main housing to align the diff, significantly easier to work with. Nissan should have been on the ball with that kind of thing.

your talking about shimming the internals if you swap the internals?  
not the entire pumpkin and leave the internals alone, right?

Not all Kaaz diffs make noise. My 2-way is very quite…Jesse’s on the other hand…
