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

^^^ 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?

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

selfinfliction

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?

selfinfliction

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
