Probably be around ?500 mark plus fitting...

When fitting I'd also recommend getting new diff bearings as well... and probably also a Helix clutch and release bearing ...

Now I've been told the read the original post again :oops: it comes already fitted in a new googly box... thats makes it even more expensive... cool2.gif

you don't even notice it 99.9% of the time, especially on public roads where you seriously have to be on the edge to feel it. Its certainly a strange feeling though as the LSD pulls you into the corner, not in an agressive way but a reasurringly smooth way.

Unless you get on a track, I doubt you will get much chance to notice it much over winter, unless you get some nice dry days.

Had one fitted last Friday (thanks Pumabuild) and can't wait until the next trackday cool2.gif cool2.gif

Cost £750 plus VAT for gearbox and LSD
Labour £120 plus VAt
Plus misc (gearbox oil, speedo drive, brake fluid to bleed the clutch etc)

:yell: Alan - I will pick up my old gearbox in a couple of weeks.

Cheers

I tried it out last night on the A516 as you come off the A38 (Derby) near Mickleover (fast right) and I was able to accelerate out of the corner faster than before (all within the 40mph limit for the corner :wink: ).
Also noticed you get less wheel spin when pulling away.
