Anyone run a CUSCO diff?

[jdmspilner]

I was just wondering if anyone here runs a CUSCO Center dif. I bought a car a while back for parts and it came with alot of stuff on it including a dealership new 94 AWD tranny and cusco center diff. I was wonder how I should expect it to act and how strong it is.

Unless it's the Tarmac center diff, which is rather unlikely because those go for big $$, it's quite possible that it's the old Buschur sold Cusco unit that's basically like a stronger 4 Gear spider diff.

I know its a cusco, I dont want to tear the tranny apart but I will try and explain-
On a stock tranny when you look through the axles holes its open with just a shaft going through the center. On this when when you look at it is almost compleatley blocked off and I can see a large black metal cercile with a small hole in the middle. Any one have some pics I could look at.? Also, What gear oil should I use?
