Sorry to hear that man.

Did you launch the car a lot or do anything since owning the car to provoke this differential failure?

 

i say find a used one on here, dealer will kill you!

 

Well the dealer offered to rebuild mine for 2300...thats when I said F you and left. You can buy them used basically almost brand new for around 500

 

If you are in school for auto mech, ask if you can bring the car in for a project. Unless you have $$$ to burn. In that case it'll help if you hold your cheeks open becuase the dealer doesn't care if it hurts.

 

Sounds like a good time to upgrade to 4.57r gears. Perhaps Hardtop Guy can help you get your diff re-built and get 4.57r gears at the same time. Both OEM and 4.57r gears are about the same cost...and your ring & pinion are probably hosed.

 

well you could get brand new comptech diff housing with 4.56 gears installed from hardtopguy.com for $2,588.00 plus shipping. If your housing is fine, you can get gears installed for $1,588.00 ($1000 core charge refund). This just leaves you to get the new diff on the car.

 

i took it to the track 3-4 times but that's all...and raced around town alot, but that's about it..

dealer quoted me like $4300 when mine went. i bought a used AP2 diff (all you need is a flange to fit onto AP1) from hardtopguy for $1k and had a local mechanic install it for $200.

however...i just saw today a guy was selling an AP2 diff for $700, so i suggest you pounce on that deal if it's still around.
