$1k for 3.45LSD is too much! maybe $300 + install as a top end figure!

$1000 FOR A SECOND HAND LSD?!!!
What? i paid $700 for a fully rebuilt LSD with 3.9 gears. $100 for the gears i sourced myself $200 for the machine work for the centre so the cones contact hard (no leggers randomly for me) and the other $400 was for bearings, seals and labour

Its not uncommon to pay $1000 for brand new gears, rebuilt centre, bearings, shims and labour.
Its one of those jobs best left to a proffesional to do. |

And if you reread my post i said brand new, i offered him advice IF he wanted to spend the $ on his current diff rather than buying a used one.

yeh but what i'm getting at is $1000 for a new diff is fine but he is willing to pay 1000 for a most likely shagged second hand

haha 5 years worth gold! i picked up a second hand lsd for 120, then again didn't last long, best bets i think would be to get your diff gear ratios changed and ask them to replace/fix anything else they find shagged. Well that's my plan
