Attention Open Diff 6MT Owners Who Want A Stock VLSD
*Edit: Only looking for 6MT owners with an open diff (I guess that only means '03 6MT Sedans).
Hey guys, trying to gauge any potential interest of anyone who has a 6MT with a stock open differential and would like to swap for a stock viscous lsd. The story is I just ordered myself a Quaife LSD. In order for me to install the Quaife on my VLSD equipped car I need the stub axles off of an open diff car. Now I could buy those stub axles brand new but those are kinda pricey. Instead I could do a diff swap with somone in hopes of saving me some coin and helping out an open diff owner at the same time. So basically my proposal is to go to a shop or dealer and have them install your open diff pumpkin onto my car and install my VLSD pumpkin onto your car. I don't want any money for the VLSD unit, I would just require that you pay for the labor of this swap assuming it's reasonable. I'm guessing $300 or under. So basically you would be getting a stock VLSD upgrade for ~$300 + another ~$100 in stock parts you need to replace during the install process (2 side bearings, 2 side oil seals, new diff oil). Please PM me if you have any serious interest. If you have no idea what I'm talking about but still are interested go ahead and PM me.
I'm in the process of calling around reputable shops for labor quotes and also researching all the necessary extra parts that both parties will need. Thanks. BTW I'm in the Bay Area, Fremont to be exact.
