Hi my supra went to the garage yesterday to get bit's and bobs sorted.

 

Today the garage call to say that the diff is not working correctly. They ask would i concider changing it now rather that latter. HAving looked at the diff my self and i also agree the diff needs bined. I called toyota for a new one and they give me the prive of

 

£1898.00 +vat and a price of £175+Vat for a new oil cooler.

 

I also today got a price for the TRD Diff and am thinking of changing to the TRD Diff. I don't know much about the diif so will i need an oil cooler also or is this a closed unit? How do people rate these? Are they a worth Wile Mod?

 

Any help or advice would very welcomed.

Thanks Fox....

People rather like the TRD diff I think. It's plate-type instead of viscous fluid? Which is 'better' but 'noiser'?

 

What's wrong with the current one? Can the internals be rebuilt rather than chopping out the whole unit? What about a 2nd hand one, there must be many about that will last for tens of thousands of miles...

Easy, it depends what is actually wrong with the existing diff, as the TRD is a kit using lots of the existing parts.

 

Ian the TRD diff is no noiser that the torsen if fitted correctly

I'm just off the phone with the garage they think that the diff in my supra is not an orignal diff in the first place. They are also concerned that the oil cooler for the diff was not rigged up to the currect diff...

 

What started of to be a good service is starting to be a pain in the arse. Look's like it's the hire car for another week!!! :shrug:
