just got a quote from trans diff in Kilsyth

New LSD centre $740, rerace $500, pull the diff out of the car and labour $240 and 3.9 gears $640

$2120 $2320 inc gst.

Sounds like a s**t load???

Nope, it will lock if you absolutely bury it, otherwise, it acts like on open centre. I can do hill runs in mine without stepping out, driving as hard as I can. They never single spin, so if you need traction, you either have traction or wheelspin. I want to get another lokka for my soon to be daily EL.....

a Lokka feels normal to drive, they are better than an LSD as they don't wear out. also, the are more predictable, as you KNOW what they are going to do for a given throttle application.

buy the gears from ebay seller username "vicmelboz"

i bought my diff gears from him, and they were in very good condition for used gears. The savings there should bring you to your $1500 bugdet

although i still think its overpriced..... here an ebay listing for brand new LSD for $550
