Hi Mitch,
Well first of all everything in the GoodParts site about the
differential are true, the installation was no more difficult than an
stock differential, the kit contained everything you needed. I
installed mine in conjunction with the HDVA 5 Speed transmission and
found there was no need to shorten the driveshaft.
The car is definitely quieter, no more whine or clunk, of
course I installed all new U-Joints prior to this. Mr Good provides
very good quality, I am very impressed with everything we have used
of his (roll bar, steering rack mounts, adjustable trailing arm
brackets, suspension Nylatron bushings) ... looking forward to the
roller rockers just as soon as "She who must be obeyed" finishing
re-decorating the kitchen ;-)
