I'd do it for like $30, cause it takes a while and eats up the bits.
I also reccomend getting this - http://rbryant.freeshell.org/obx_washers.htm

you pay shipping lol.

that's a lot of shit to do, gonna go with OEM if not then i go with the OBX

[AKEP]

fasho. its really not that hard, just looks like alot. you have to take those bolts out and washers when you clean it up anyways, so its not really an extra step. kinda of a "while your at it" kind of thing.

seriously tho, if you find a good deal on an OEM unit, go for that. The OBX is work, but thats just me.

Im Running an A2 Trans and I love it Acceleration is def a big improvement over stock...

I'll be in the market for an LSD eventually but the 6 speed was worth the head aches

Quick question, what shifter do you use with a 6-speed swap?

[AKEP]

you keep the same shifter. its the same transmission casing so its like taking out the trans and putting it back in. i tihnk theres a piece you havve to modify or buy from honda though...some shifter piece..

I've had the Quaife in my car now for over 6 years and ZERO issues. I track the car semi-regularly with a built and blown K24 and Never a hitch out of the diff. I've replaced a couple of synchros, and swapped final drives a couple of times and the Quaife just keeps rockin along. Granted that it isn't cheap, but it comes with an unconditional lifetime warranty.

unconditional lifetime warranty...ZEro issuse in 6 years
Im going with Quaife
no headache is priceless

wheres a good place to get these badboys

SC'd A3 & A3 tranny with Type R fly and LSD........ bought both used off of Clubrsx and have been very satisfied.

still looking for an oem z3 lsd :/

Hey guys, quick question. Will a Z3 LSD go into my stock a3 tranny without issue? just get a new speedo gear from honda, new bearings, and reassemble? I've done some searching, but it seems like everyone is doing full 6spd swaps and i just want the LSD with all the stock terrible stock gearign that comes standard with my a3 :) . i was planning to do an Mfactory gear LSD, but i always like the idea of oem honda stuff whenever it works for me.

thanks
Greg

k20z3 LSD is a direct drop in. You can use the speed gear off your a3 diff and reuse the bearings if they spec out OK.

[RotaryGreg]

thats what i figured, but i didnt want to just go on a hunch and end up with a diff that wont work for me.

Its sort of a shame because i was going to order an Mfactory unit. their customer service so far has been great. I asked them a few questions and they got back to me quickly and with serious enthusiasm and interest in what im doing. can't say the same for the other companies.

But this z3 LSD i came arcoss is such a good price i just cant pass it up.

Its hard to beat OEM... unless your going for big power that is.
