i'd say its pretty hard to DIY if its the centre. you need the write tools to marry up the crown and pinion.

unless you're a mechanic by nature its something i wouldn't attempt on my own
i can't brain today.. i have the dumb..

If you live anywhere near the hills I can give you the number of the guy who fitted mine and did an excellent job and a lot cheaper than I expected. he does quite a lot of work for the rally fraternity.

I used a diff specialist on O'conner, I haven't broken it yet so perhaps they did a good job. :lol:
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

Steve Lee did my Cusco diff install, and all up including a service it was $500ish. Hope that gives you the ball park figure you're after.

For the speedo drive grab the dríven gear out of an NA6 box, as they are 4.3 stock. I did that when I swapped to a 4.3 torsen.
Street='94 with FFS Coldside. Sold :(
Race='97 with AVO (soon to be Absurdflow) and GT2560 <--- sod that... LS1 conversion underway!
