Got the thrans. with a trade and found out the main shaft bearing was bad so I tore it down to replace it today and got another suprise. Here are some pics. Not the best but you can see what I am working with. Is this thing worth fixing? What will happen if I just install it like this? All of the other parts/gears look good. Its the differential gears.

big bang theory about to be proven!

 

Install it like that and you will need a new transmission.

Replace the diff.

 

Where can I find one? Looked at Majestic but couldn't find it.

 

Will be under MT, usually listed as MT Differential.

I'd think about a MFactory unit at that price, I've given up on OBX.

 

Im just trying to fix it and sell it. I won't get my money back if I go with an LSD or a new OEM part. Might try to find a used one just to get it out of here.

 

how much you want for it as is

and is it hydro?

 

just buy an ebay lsd from obx make sure you strip the obx and make sure its assembled correctly and your ready to rock

 

Yes, its hydro. I was asking 500 since I replaced all of the seals and the mainshaft bearing but don't know what its worth now.

 

you might as well put a new diff in it and use it

you could use a ls diff in it but you have to switch the ring gear on it

 

lsd, best thing i got for my tranny

I have no use for it. I have a D16Y7 in my hatch. Not gonna mess with B seires anymore, I will swap a K in when its time.

 

clean the affected areas and weld the spider gears closed. you now have a no slip differential.

 

just try to find one on here, somebody has to be selling one

 

Found one for 80 shipped....Sound resonable? Don't know if it matters but this one is coming from a GSR.

 

it wont work unless you have the ring gear for it

the b16/ls ring gear wont fit on a gsr diff..

 

Ok, guess thats no good. I am in need of a B16 one.

 

thats strange, i just replaced my buddies broken gsr diff with a ls diff and used the gsr ring gear and it has no problems whatsoever hmmm..

broken gsr diff has a snap ring stuck in it so the axle would pop out all the time finally he said [freak]it replace my diff

 

I just want the whole diff. not trying to take anything alse apart. I might just sell it for a hundred or 2.

 

I call bullshit here

im dead serious

 

Means you must have had a GSR diff then and didn't know it

 

Ok, does anyone have a B16 diif. so I can put this back together and get rid of it? Im tired of seeing it.

actually im sorry, it was a b16 diff, i kept the ls diff in my tranny...

it was a 99-00 si tranny, i took the mainshaft and kept the ls countershaft so i could use the b16 gears with ls final drive and kept it together with the diff, we put the b16 tranny into the gsr case....

that or theres something else going on because i went to put the b16 diff in with ring gear and it wouldnt fit, so i put on the gsr ring gear to the b16 diff and everything lined up and worked fine
