Diff specialist in Sydney!??

Postby Gmi » Fri Apr 27, 2012 4:01 pm

Any recommendations for diff specialists in Sydney? Preferably north or south west side. That can do both pulling the diff out and the diff itself?

Cheers.

Not necessarily a diff specialist but Prep'd motorsport in Gladesville fitted my torsen centre for me last week.

Difftechnics
Production Avenue Kogarah. Good honest shop and they really know what they are doing.
They get the nicest show cars and drag cars there all the time. They swapped my open diff for a Torson for $300.00

For what its worth, removing a diff with the aid of a hoist takes around 20 minutes.

Sounds about right. Dave took out my 4.1 with a Torson centre and installed the centre into used case with 3.63 for $300.00 labour and $320.00 for the housing + new fluid. Took the whole morning.

Just had my diff swapped over. 1 and 1/4 people working on it that is a second pair of hands were required now and then, took 3 hours . So to pull the diff out split it and do all the things required to rebuild ??
The car does feels better and keen to take for drive friday.
