i have an 00 si trans and im in the middle of installing an OBX lsd and a LS 5th gear.

i used a three jaw puller to remove the speedo ring from the old diff. i noticed its cracked and i assume i did this while pulling it off. a new diff(th only way to get a new ring) from honda is $500 bucks so thats not gonna happen.

anyway, my question: is there anyway to fix this ring(ie: JB weld or epoxy) to make it work or am i pretty much boned and should try and sorce out another diff to get the ring from?

 

a used diff with a ring go for 30-50$. just have a machine shop take it off if your not sure you can do it. i wouldnt epoxy the old one,you wont find out it wont work until everything is tgether and the speedo wont work

 

there is one on ebay from the guy that i bought my new diff bearings from. He took it off a diff and cleaned it all up and i believe he is asking 30 buy it now price.

 

i have a extra speedo ring gear. in perfect condition $100 shipped.

pm me if you want it.

 

Next time, put the diff in the freezer for like 15 minutes, then get a torch out and heat the speedo gear. A 3-jaw puller will have it off pretty easily.

Just look for a used diff with one. Depending on how it is cracked, it's useable (meaning: filing some ridges down from cracked teeth, but not much more).

 

i have some speedo gears. pm me if you're still in search and want to purchase one. heed the torch advice for removal. and when installing onto a cool diff, heat expands it to drop on then it shrinks tight.

 

the torch/freezer thing is aa good idea. i still have one th the b16 trans thats in my car. i guess i can just split that case when i go to swap trannys over. thanks guys :thumb up:

 

you should be able to get the speedo ring gear for a Mugen from King Motorsports, but they are like $200......

 

all the people trying to charge this guy $100 plus are outrageous. if you were around ny i'd just give you one since i have alot extra, but here. . . http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Honda...Q5fAccessories

 

thats the one i was talking about, he is a nice guy and great seller i bought stuff from him and he helped me out a lot.
