Diff rebuild in Brisbane

Post by Shadow »

Anyone know a good diff rebuilder in brisbane who can repair my rear LSD diff in my HJ60

I have dropped it out, problem is basically a loose pinion flange which is presumably due to a collapsing pinion bearing.

diff has done 420thousand and has not been out before.

Have had quotes around the $650 mark for a full rebuild. Pretty much everyone i have spoken to is wanting to do a full rebuild, which as far as i can ell involves replacing the bearings and lapping the gears.

Hoping to get it fixed asap and preferably cheaper than a full rebuld as I think it just needs a set of bearings.

If on the north side try Hart Transmissions, had a few diffs done by them for alright prices, I think.

I got nothing to say about them after they broke the diff in the MK. They put a new seal and speedy sleeve on and used a rattle gun on the diff and broke two teeth. Worked beofre I put the car in, and first time to use it made a noise.

I use Duncan from top gear up the sunshine coast. He'll pick up from Brisbane as he lives down. Does a great job and I have used him from the days he was at harts. My experience with Diff Lapping goes back nearly 10 years ago so probably not relevant now, I'm just a bit stubborn

Agree with Ben, I've been sending work there for years and have never had a problem. I think you'll find they do a pretty good job.

They fitted my rear locker to the centre and when i went to pick it up they gave me free diff oil and a gasket for the centre,also were 250 dollars cheaper on the locker than any one else,i would gladly use them again,they used to have a branch behind auto barn at moss street when i got mine fitted,but they are now on north side.

Diff Lapping and Repairs

Well the diff i had rebuilt by these guys has done another 50 thousand and hasn't missed a beat, they shimed the LSD up for me too which actually worked for the first time in years :)

car is not used at all anymore but i would recommend these boys for a diff any time!.

have not used them since 2007 though :P
