So with 130k miles on my car and the stock Diff, its getting damn near the time to do something with it. I am wondering is it possible to rebuild one or is the only option replacing it with a brand spanking new one? I do know I want a set of 4.56 gears something BAD, but I am quite sure that just replacing the old gears with that set wont be a proper fix would it or is it? I know Honda was trying to rip my left testicle by trying to charge me 5k for a new diff assembly. What options to I have?

 

 

I'm pretty sure all you need is some 4.56 and a diff overhaul, new bearings etc....I don't see why you would need a brand new one....

You'll get some good advise in the UTH forum.

 

Hey Civictos2000, didnt you say you know someone who runs a rearend shop? I wouldnt mind getting some ballpark estimates on the whole rebuild job + install of gears... anyway you could provide a guestimate?

 

I'd get the 4.56s if I needed a rebuild/retrofit. If they just whhine, you may want to start by simply changing the fluid.

 

dang 5k from the dealership
i would just do a rebuild with some gears

 

well I know the guy that installed my gears but that was his first time working on Imports... .... I think is Dre that knows someone that runs a shop....

Once again, I would suggest calling Triad Auto, 393-0220.

 

I'd follow David's advice - the Triad Auto guys are recommended from some other S owners I've met.
