Before you say don't buy anything from EBAY and EXPECIALLY From obx. What other options do i have? And did anyone ever try it?

Car wasn't a G85 and since my tranny and engine are completely out figured it be possible to fix it up.

only issue i really see is that it's ridiculously cheap

OBX Helical LSD Differential Cobalt SS F35 Trans 05-08 | eBay

 

**** that man just get the Quaife.

 

Seriously?? Can't type 3 letters into the search bar? It's Chinese ****, not worth it. Buy Quaife. /thread

 

^^^ he is right the OBX is pretty much trash compared to the Quaife. Lifetime warranty on the Quaife btw.

 

wheres the best place to buy the quaife? or atleast price hunt? would it be cheaper to find a junk G85 Tranny and just scavenge it?

 

I use an obx lsd on my 500+ whp cavalier, oh 500 ft lbs as well

 

where u at the CED this past summer? They good quality?

 

Don't buy anything from ebay, especially OBX.

 

No Doubt, we carry the REAL thing, which is Quaife!

Some members never learn, buy cheap junk = problems. Honestly you are better to do nothing than buy cheap...

 

And if you're going to buy it - Get it from TTR. I've dealt with them in the past when I had my L61, great people, great service.

 

IMO i would just find a G85 trans in the junk yard. clean it up and put some new fluid in it. no need to buy the quaife unit and go through the trouble of install when one will bolt right in, then sell yours to get some money back.

 

that sounds like my best option. I really dont need a 1k LSD. I can find the trans but how could i find it with the LSD in. Im using car-part.com to find stuff

 

TTR gave me a great deal too. Good vendor for real

 

my old luck with stuff like that is searching for other parts that the car would've had. so in this case. search for seats. if the description says "Recaro"they may have the whole car which would = LSD. worth a shot

 

i really want to just rip the LSD out of the transmission for a couple hundrend bucks. Instead of 750+ for another trans when mine works perfectly

 

That's very narrow minded to say don't buy anything from there. Maybe not a lsd, but there are some decent things for sale on there.

 

it is not as easy as you think to add a lsd in your existing tranny there are special holding fixtures needed to hold the gear shafts in place and then you have to set the clearance on the ring and pinion in the tranny your best bet is to find as low of milage as you can lsd tranny and swap it in

 

you should definitely buy one, then spend $1000 putting it in

...

or get a used lsd trans for less than that

 

im thinking of just finding one from a yard. Question is where?

 

got mine for under $700 shipped at autopartsfair.com - but after i bought mine i think everyone bought them up - there were a dozen or two dozen listed, then by the end of the week every one of them was sold. not sure what they go for on there now
