havent done it but Im going to soon.. already got the gears.. they run about 200, I got tehm used for cheap tho..
getting a LSD for around 90
install kit for like 110
reluctor ring for 15-20
and install 150-200
all together its about 600 bucks, I dunno if it would be worth it if I didnt get the gears so cheap..

Does anyone know how much the gears would cost me? Maybe slp or someone who sells them? THxRedLineVSix <br />95 Patriot Red Trans Am, M6, 3.42\'s,no rear tires<br />(SOLD!)97 Silver Camaro 3.8 Liter A4 3.42 + LSD, 1pc DS, and one messed up speedo :)

3.08s to 3.42s is the best mod you can do besides a converter. you will actually like your car and wonder why you didn't do this before. my cost breakdown is like this...
LSD $50 (auburn too :D )
3.42s $45 shipped (11k miles)
New reluctor ring $20
New bearings free under warranty
Labor including programming from another Y87 car $150
ahhh the joys of having friends at dealerships. :D :D :D

I would go for a zexel torsen differential over an auburn myself, more efficient power transfer.2001 75th Anniversary V6 Pewter Firebird w/ Chrome Wheels, T-Tops, & Y87<br />Mods: Free Ram Air, !Silencer, Holley Filter, Full 3\" Hooker Catback, 3\" Cat<br />Best time: 15.095 at 90.00 MPH with a 2.127 60\'
