You might need the I30 axles also but I'm not 100% sure. You really should do you research BEFORE diving into something like this.

For I30 manuals. Search for Keven97se

For I30 auto trannies, search for Don in Texas

No wiring changes should be needed. All changes(if any) will be mechanical in nature.

Ah what? They are DIFFERENT. One has a vlsd and one does not. Which one would you rather have?

Furbiss. Don't double post in different forums. I'll let this one slide but in the future, the gen forum one will be toast.

The I30 trans should mount right up w/o any problems. They are the same motor and should have the same bolt patterns.

The only difference is that the I30 has LSD. You can also get a Canadian model transmission that has LSD as well.

You will def be happy with the Level 10 rebuild.

What mods do you have? PM me if you wish. As far as Level 10, I have read some..uh.. interesting things about them. ie.. not building up to their reputation. I think I saw all this on the Supraforums.com site. Do a search on the gen forums or the anything goes forums. Might provide some insight on your tranny woes. Or is it not the Level 10 items that are breaking??

If you are switching from non-LSD to LSD, you will have to change one of the CV shafts; the passenger side IIRC.
