Anyone know of some good places to get the kits?

 

GT Transmissions in atlanta, Transtar, Rockland Standard Gear, etc.

If you're doing an open diff, ask for kit BK-182D. I think the VLSD kit is a BK-182E

I used GT Transmissions, good to deal with and fair priced. I got the kit w/o syncroz shipped for ~$210 or so.

 

I just called them looking for a bareing kit for my 4th gen 5MT... $225 shipped for just the bareing kit.

 

Look at Ebay ... $300 + ..... shop around, see if you can find a better deal. That's just who I used.

 

This is for the NON syncro kit.

GT TRans - $225 shipped
RSGear.com - $147.62 + tax + shipping
Transtar - $178.23 + tax + shipping

WITH SYNCROS
GT TRans - $unkn
RSGear.com - $353.64 + tax + shipping
Transtar - $386.09 + tax + shipping

as of TODAY

I think im gonna order from Transtar just cause they can have it to me in 1 day.

 

Wow .... that's hella good prices mate! Ask what kind of bearings they are in the kit. Are they NTN ??? NTN is Japan bearings ... that is what GT Trans sends out. Either way, not a bad deal at all.

 

I paid the 225 from GT and haven't looked back since.

 

RS Gear kits are a mishmash of Nachi, NTN, SKF, and some generic brand.

 

Something to keep in mind ....
