QUOTE (Culpable04 @ Apr 22, 2012 - 12:20 PM)  I used the shift linkage from a AWD trans. and swapping a LSD into a trans, is not a huge deal with the proper tools, but I still stand by my point. the cost of a non LSD trans + cost of LSD + hours of work in install it is not cost efective, unless you manage to score both for a GREAT deal. non LSD trans low mileage goes for around 350, and LSD diff goes for at least 350 as well, thats 700, you can find LSD trans for around 500 if you look hard enough. I think the only human being in the world I know that scores ridiculously good online deals is you. The cheapest I found a TRD LSD for the E153 was $585 on eBay and I had to have a genuine TRD part, lol. Better than the $1200 for the Quaife I was mentally preparing myself to spend, lol. I don't know how you've scored so many of your goodies, mano. Unless someone spends the entire day from forum to forum or is extremely patient for a deal, I don't think anyone could top you.

I'll take my cheap-ness as a compliment, I think the deal I'm the most proud of is the TRD skirts ( OEM ) which I got for 45 dollars Shipped from UK.  I dont think that's ever happening again.

Having an lsd trans can be done for under $400... i did it, Got the trans from a salvage yard for 200, and the LSD from culp for 200, add in 5 hours of work and tada! well worth it
