hey guys, i was just wondering if anyone could give me a price quote on what a mechanic would charge on a trak lock rebuild, im gonna buy the kit off summitracing, or 50resto and just have them install it. Any clues?

PS: im not lazy, i would call and ask around except its 12:23am and im at work.

lol, well if your having a mechanic do the labor on rebuilding it, it would prolly be about the same price to buy a new one, i'm assuming your gunna take it out and bring it into the shop

92cobra

no actually i was just planning on driving there and having them do it. I dont know much about rear ends, let alone mechanical shtuff.

lol, y do you want it rebuilt??? this is a nbig project and would take atleast half the day, you have to remove the rear brakes (disc at leat not sure about drums) , open the rear, and pull the diff, and then rebuild it and replace it... so figure 5 hours (for removal and install on the diff.) at 65$ an hour these 325$ plus the time it takes to actualy rebuild the differential

well i figured i needed it rebuilt considering only my rear passenger wheel is spinning. What would be a better plan?

94GTcoupe. If he does not feel comfortable with his level of mechanical skills.. opening up the rear end is DEFINITLY not for him...

bring it to a mechanic and let them fix it

adder thanks for the help again mate. Im just curious to know, price wise, is there a better option i should do? I have a buddy that is a mechanic and will do ANY labor i want for a pretty good price.

also adder, whats so good about posi traction compared to just 1 wheel spinning?

AdderMk2

thats kinda a silly question. would you rather have your horsepower going to 1 wheel, or two?

92cobra

depends, if it goes to 2 are they just gonna spin and not give me traction, or if it goes to 1 am i gonna get traction and launch really really fastzorz....lol sorry im tired
