Finished it last night. I'm glad I did the bushings as well as everything feels much sharper. On my short test drive they made the biggest difference. I am pleased with how not race car this diff feels. Car drives completely normally. The only hint I got of the increased performance was finishing an on ramp. Normally I get a little slip and a tcs light, but the car just put down the power and exited clean. I will hopefully get some seat time in December and report back.

Are you using the OS Giken gear lube? Use anything else makes the diff noisy, and it will chatter.

What was your backlash before and after?

I am using castrol 75w90 for the 1000 miles/first event, then switching to the osg lube. I had a friends shop do the backlash and it is currently .004.
