Otherwise Brian from "Team Green" manufactures an AWESOME LSD kit (Phantom Grip Style) but better.
They are made from 01 tool steel, which are machined, hardened and surface ground, at a VERY low price.
They have been a great mod for Getrag Cavalier owners, he has one for the F35 also we believe....
Here is his contact info:

Also we carry the Quaife, as we are a direct dealer for them, PM us if you are interested in one.

LSX RWD S/C conversion

The shop time for installing a LSD is about 10 hours, so calculate that into the your cost when deciding if it is worth it to you.
I am having one installed next week into my "new to me" daily driver SS/SC

I've rebuilt a few of them for a few of my buddies (Honda crew). They are pretty easy once you've done a few.
The problem is that the bellville washers that OBX uses can't even handle the stresses of shipping, let alone driving. That's why most are DOA in the package.
The solution is to replace the washers with standard bellville washers from Spaenaur, or McMaster-Carr.
Here is the how that I learned from.

Also, it's a good idea to de-burr the crap out of the thing, as you don't want any chunks falling off and causing your tranny to implode...

OK that makes sense. I have seen the opposite but from the same crowd. Honda owners that have transmissions that look like sand formations because of these lsd's

The Engine and Trans Have to be removed... Separated and then reinstalled..
10 hours is a PRO who is familiar with the process..
If you get a BUMKIN to do it, it will be much longer..

Brian MP5T is right 100% It makes me laugh, the work to remove disassenble and reassemble is the same (plus parts) but now you are going to consider saving 500 bucks but you may have to buy some new belleville washers from Spaenaur to make it the el cheapo (less than) limited slip diff., right, and then maybe it will hold up? Give yourself a shake pay Aaron for a Quaife or forget it. Go big or go home...
am I sorry to be rude? no wait a minute, I am not sorry the road to hell is paved with guys honestly tyring to save a buck but then in the end they will spend more dealing with the rotten result of too cheap. YOu get nothing for nothing. So: Aaron. Quaife. Next?

Ummm... Brain was referring to the transmission.
The diff is actually very easy to take apart and put back together. You just need to have patience.
Either way, your going to have to dick around with ripping the tranny down to get the dif in there.

Omega 5 what planet are you from? NO disrespect but if we are talking LSJ the diff can only be installed with a COMPLETE transmission DISASSEMBLE.... yup thats right right down to the last nut and bolt. Make sure you like up the shift levers when you are done before you put it in the car...
Ummm... so disrespect, but did you even read a damn thing that I wrote?
Please read before posting n00b!

B) Sure sounds like your talking about the tranny having to be removed....
C) Stop being a ******* troll on here.... all you have done in the past 3 weeks is bitch about ****... a polite "No, I was actually talking about something else" would have done, as opposed to the ******* Mazda-driver **** "refrain from speaking on my behalf".
... ok... bye bye now...
------------------------------------------------
Ok... while I'm waiting for people to type rude replies... lets clear up this thread
1) If you don't like the OBX, don't buy it
2) If you do buy it, replace the spring washers and fasteners
3) Replacing said components is easy f you take your time and follow instructions
4) You have to remove the tranny from the car to install the diff
5) You have to slit the tranny to install the diff
6) Golden rule -> If you don't know what your doing.... don't do it. Take it to a shop and save yourself the pain and trouble.

They had a huge application issue, they didnt even know what they fit. They listed some F23 getrag tranny ones, and they were actually teh F35 getrag... They had a mess, not sure if they even figured it out. I would stay away just for that reason, if they dont know what it is for, how can they make it right?!?! LOL
