F23 final drive ratio..
These are the ring gear and shaft, list prices are over $500 for the pair.

Theres a seal and a lube guide youll need. maybe $30
You may also need the differential itself about $225 list
12571822
If you need the diff itself youll also need new bearings to the tune of $247 list
93334162(x 2)
And of course theres labor......with the trans out of car, Id say anything under $400 labor would be an absolute STEAL of a price.(expect to see figures hover near $600us at most shops)

haha, so I guess I should just keep an eye out for a salvage trans.... But thanks for the info anyway.
If I found a complete trans, would I be able to just swap the diffs? I'm wondering about the axles...

no, its just a shaft, youll need to disassemble yours and install your Reverse Gear , 5th/Reverse Synchronizer Assembly ,Bearings, 3rd Driven Gear, 4th Driven Gear, and 5th Driven Gear to the new Output Shaft
ok, thanks. i still need to get the books for my car. then i can look and see how do-able/ cost effective it will be. its starting to sound like more of a pain in the ass then its worth. will i need a hot plate for the gears or can i get them on without one?
Ill look tomorrow and see if they are selling assembled output kits.....there was a time when they were.....not sure anymore.
You need a bearing splitter plate. Its a two piece job that you boltaround the shaft so that its edge is under the gear you wanna get off, then you support that on the press and force out the shaft.
A hot plate and a freezer make assembling the shaft easier, but you still need a press, and you MUST have a press to disassemble it, 3rd and 4th gear are TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT press fits.
