i have red some of the threads, i was wondering if anyone has changed out their fifth gear from a s54 to s51? was wondering if the rpm drop was drastic? also if anyone has completly re-geared their s54 from first thru fifth? the reason i ask is because my third gear grinds and the front shaft bearings sounds like its gone bad already. so since im going to crack it open was wondering if i can re gear it. aside from finding a lsd for it.

you can swap ONLY the 5th gear.
which will NOT require pulling the trans out


Basically it should be:
remove driver wheel
drain fluid
remove 5th gear cover
remove 5th gea (will need a gear.pulley puller)
install s51 5th gear
reinstall cover
add fluid
install wheel

so you can't swap the whole transmission over?
it looks exactly the same as the s54. saw one on ebay
