Re: Replaceing my 5-speed with a 6-speed

ok just took a look and i have 3.23 which mean i should have a 3-series carrier. anyone now of a good place to get a LSD pertty cheap since i don't need to upgrade my carrier like i thought and what else would i need to install it in the diff case i have now? Or would it just be cheaper to get a whole rearend out of a v8?

used to be SLP but they finally ran out, now days I imagine the best place would be ebay. Other than that you can always look for a low mileage wrecked V8 (w/ a 3 series) and pull it out of there, (or a low mileage wrecked v6 if you find the right one). I dunno what a new one would list for from GM.

Other than that you could get an auburn from summit if you didn't want a torsen and were willing (or wanted) a clutch type LSD.

check your door codes. they will tell you all about what came with your car from the factory. your door codes are either in the driver side door or maybe in your glove box. we have links here to tell you what the door codes mean.


edit: DOH!!!!! i should read all the posts. derrrrherrrrrrr.
