Tim,
Do you recall their pricing?

 

The rebuild for mine was about $500 and they were willing to go as high as 80% in the process. They had one on the shelf for $900 IIRC. This was for the '83-89 variety.

I should note that they are about as professional a shop as it gets. Moreover, they are the folks that 928 International trusts. (Thanks again Jim!) I got a tour of their facility in Lake Havasu City, AZ...in a word, WOW! If you want the closest thing to a new (or better than new) transaxle, call them.

Contact Bobby Hart for more info... (928) 855-5755

OK it's a shameless plug, but I've got nothing but good things to say about them.

 

Incidentally, I need to get a phone in Havasu if for no other reason than to have the area code.

 

Jim Page took an early Ring & Pinion (2.75 ratio) from an early (78-79) installed into an S4 5-speed - this also allowed him to run an early LSD unit.

He also swapped in 5th gear from a GTS transmission.

 

There is machine work needed to the unit in order to install a pre-83 LSD into a 83-89 box.

 

The 2.75 is the big deal.

 

The 2.75 yes, but that wasn't the only thing that let him run the early diff.

 

I know - just trying to keep things simple

 

Probably some machining to the trans case, and some to the mating surfaces. Just a guess though.
