    Anyone...replaced a VE commodore sedan diff with a LSD one? Cheapest best way is to____?
    Spoke to holden, about $2100 trade. ####in rip off. Options?

    1) Replace only the diff centre.

    2) Buy from holden dealer after ages of saving.

    3) Buy from aftermarket supplier.

    4) Weld it. hahaha.


    Help, Thanks.

    I also believe that VE SV6 initially had an LSD. From the introduction of the SIDI engine, I believe that the manual stayed stock, but the LSD became an option for the auto.

    the manual ones do, the auto ones don't

    try wreckers, a whole bunch of ####wit p platers in their drift machines would of written them off

    think that would be the cheapest lol

    Thats way too expensive.......
    I got a price of $250 fitted, which includes adjusting the A6 shift points. (obviously, i would be supplying the new diff)
