hey there,,i was just wondering if i rip the gears out of a vl 6cy 3:45 borgwarner diff,,will they fit into a vr irs centre,,,will be using vr lsd centre,,,,,why does it cost so much at diff shops to change gearing?

this should answer all your questions http://forums.justcommodores.com.au/v6-development-modification/71234-diff-all-you-need-know.html

shops charge a premium rate for labour. some will also tell you you need things done that aren't really required. some also quote to supply parts. new gears are very expensive.

this is not really the right section for this but we don't really have a proper section for transmissions/drivelines etc

i honestly beleive that fitting new gears is best left to a profesional outfit. if you get it wrongyou will wreck the gears in no time and unless you have the proper mechanical know-how and equipement it is easier to let someone elso do it.

it cost me $300 to get 3.45 diff gears fitted (they supplied - used). i supplied the LSD center which they also re-conditioned and fitted at the same time. took em about 3-4hrs to do and i got a loan car for the arvo they had mine.

shop around, if you can supply the parts (gears and LSD center) it shouldn't cost to much:thumbsup:
