Steve's Transmission in Morristown, TN (423)586-3522
Called this guy Steve, just to see if he would sell me a little marking compound. He said he had just run out and would have more on Monday morning. Went down there this morning and we started talking about my LSD install. Told him I had never done one and was KINDA nervous about it. I told him it was in the back of my car and he said, "go get it." He put it on this cool stand and checked everything for me right then. Pinion bearing preload good! Backlash good! Smear good!
Everybody in there was working on something. This was the owner that rolled up his sleeves and got dirty and he wouldn't take a dime for it.
$0.00
I did run into all kinds of issues getting this done and if I were to do it over again, I would buy a used third member and build it, then just do a simple swap. My car has been on a lift for 11 days.
