Sydney dif specialist

[amichie]

Any recommendations for a Sydney based diff specialist to look at my mx83 LSD diff.?

D&R diffs.. don't have the contact details.. but they are located on Barry Road in Chipping Norton
Best in the trade in my opinion because they've never had a car they worked on come back due to problems

Hi Blake

Where are they and any idea what it costs to get and LSD rebuilt??

I'm also thinking about a small ratio change. maybe 3.9 to 4.11

Craft will charge you $250 plus the rebuild, $400?.
But they are probably the best place in Australia.

Hi Screamn

Is that $250 for the ratio change and $400 for the rebuild?

If you take a diff to Craft, they will charge you 250 Minimum, thats the best case scenario, like say you take a diff that you have pulled apart your self and you need new shims and it to be put back together. The price goes up from there. I assume $400 will cover a complete rebuild, changing the crown gear wont really cost any extra.

Google "Craft Differentials" pages in Australia. Ring the number and ask for Richard Craft, he can give you a price.

I spoke to Peter Craft today and he sounds really genuine and knowledgeable.

I will pull out the diff and leave it in his hands.

Thanks for all the advice and I will update when its done.

so how much did he quote??

If I take the diff down to his work shop he will reset all the clearances for $150. I guess that's if no parts are required.

Unfortunately he said there were no options for ratio changes.

I might keep an eye out for a supra 4.3 or somthing like that. But for the moment I will just get mine reshimmed.

I couldn't remember the name of the actual diff shop

Slight change of topic.

Does anyone know if a ring and pinion gear set from another model will fit with the cressida housing and LSD centre??

I remember reading somewhere that the cresssida is a G series diff and that Hilux is similar.
