mass-hole Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 I am thinking of doing an STI torsen in the front diff to get rid of the front wheelspin in corners. My question is what is the easiest, cheapest way to attack this? If i buy just the diff I will have it professionally installed in my Spec.B Transmission which i assume is fairly pricey labor wise. I could just do an STi trans swap, which I could do myself, and sell my Spec.B Trans to recoup some money. Then I get DCCD while i'm at it. The only thing I don't like about that is the shorter gears. I already wish the Spec.B 6th was taller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators BarManBean Posted December 13, 2013 Moderators Share Posted December 13, 2013 Andrewtech quoted me $400 labor to install and front LSD into the spec.b transmission I had. That was in conjunction with the transmission swap I was doing which was $700 for the labor. It's a bit less labor to just drop the trans instead of doing a full swap, but not a ton (just no rear differential work), So I would ballpark somewhere around $1000 to have the trans pulled, worked on, then reinstalled.

mass-hole Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 I can pull and reinstall the trans myself so an STi swap would be only the cost of the trans, its the diff swap that I would need to outsource. Can the front diff be swapped with the trans still bolted to the block? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. You need to open up the transmission case. "Bullet-proof" your OEM TMIC! <<Buy your kit here>> Not currently in stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waxiboy Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 why not pull the trans yourself, buy lsd, have andrewtech install, then put it back on yourself? the only con to this is the extended downtime, seeing that you are from MA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
