Re: Help me find a LSD! 700 90

Nick,

Just Check with a local rear end shop. I went to my local shop in Corvallis (50k people) and they had a used Dana 30 LSD that they had just put new clutches into. They charged me $150 for the part. I then had them install it with new bearings, seals, Speedo pickup, and a new ratio for the rear. (V-8 Mod) Total cost was ~$900. It was on the high side for labor, but they have a good reputation and worked with me so I could send out the rear housing for powdercoating and a few other mods.

Good luck!

PS, I was doing a 1031 rear housing. This has a larger ring/pinion gear. The volvo Pinion bearing size is "unique" so Volvo (or SAM) is the only place you can buy a new gear set. I opted for a good low mileage set out of an old 240 to get the right ratio.
