Diff rebuilding places

[DevilDRake]

Hey guys,

I'm after a good recommended place for getting my diff, or getting a diff with LSD with 3.7s.

Does anyone know a place I can call, or howmuch it will be?

It would be greatly appreciated.

Note: I work from 9am Til 1am every day now and I'm using my phone so search function fails .

Oh also! Anyone know good places to get a high-stall for a reasonable price? (around $200-400)? I don't know of many around.

Thanks guys.

Preston Auto's & Diff's will do both jobs for you at top notch quality.

Do you mean 9am to 1pm not 1am lol?

highstall might be looking at around $1500 for an aftermarket one (bigger stall) other wise could get a second hand standard one from wreckers mate.

Nah it's a 2800 stall so shouldn't be thatmuch.
Nope i mean 9am Til 1am lol

Total Traction Drivelines in Moorabbin:
Total Traction Drivelines
Websites a bit outdated, but all the info is on there.
They are genuinely friendly and knowledgable people to deal with.
They rebuilt my 3.08 LSD a few months back and I can't say a bad word about it.

[DevilDRake]

Yea Preston automotive and differentials quoted me a ridicules $2250 for 3.7s without a speedo calibration aswell. I was like WHAT.

Compared to Total traction they quoted me $1300 for a complete LSD rebuild including new bearings and installation.

let us know how u go with fitting yours in man.

Info in my thread but I think you've already seen it. Since I haven't fitted one before it was annoying, but took me like 4 hours to get it out, and 1 to put it back in since I knew what I was doing then. I took everything very carefully and slow (just incase the diff would drop so i was cautious with every bolt lol). Not to mention the CV and diff bolts are tight as fk, and the diff bolts are hard to get too. But got there in the end.

If you want instructions, you do it in this order:

Undo ABS Sensors + Breather on the top
Undo the 4 rear bolts (diff will drop a little)
Jack it back up, and undo the CV joints (or do it the other way around)
Drop the jack down (makes the diff hang lower)
Undo the Front 2 bolts on the diff near the tail shaft
Undo the tail shaft
Then finally undo the top 2 bolts holding on the diff. - Make sure you got the jack under it and balance it as you lower the jack - Having 2 people under the car helps.

When putting it all together i used Loctite threadlocker so they wouldn't come back undone.
