I have the chance to buy a LSD disc to disc from a mate for $180. Would it be possible to take the centre out, take it to a place, maybe get it rebuilt, then get them to put it into my EF, preferably with my 3.23 gears as well?
If not, what is a good price for a LSD conversion fitted? I've been quoted around 700 for new LSD, my gears, oil, gasket & fitting. Is this good.
Two things to check. If the LSD diff is 2.77 ratio, it is no good, as the hemisphere has a different offset. If the hemisphere is 25 spline 2 pin(very likely) it is no good, as your axles will be 28 spline.
As $700 is less than retail on a new LSD, it's either a great price or not a new one.

So will any 28 spline LSD do? There's XD-XF LSDs going for ~$150 in the papers sometimes. Didn't they make 28 spline 9inchers?
I think for $700, what it'd be is a new LSD carrier bolted onto ur ring gear. I got that done for $750. BTR carrier retails for ~$550 from memory...
Btw, my LSD which I got last year is starting to act up, I don't reckon she'll see the end of this year. They got clutches in them, which do wear out so I'd look into getting a spool if u could live with it. I've been told that a spool centre is only $130 and they never wear out.
Again, was this a 28 spline/4pin? Cheapest retail I have seen on these is $770, bare /complete.

They DO NOT have clutches. They are rebuildable, and should give good service life afterwoods, if done correctly.
