Soory to hear about your diff mate.
I believe it is possible to add a LSD to a 5spd. A lot of people on here will recommend fitting a 6spd at the same time as the engine will be out anyway. Or possibly recon the original box with stronger internals!!
Although it all starts adding up.
Hope you get a good deal. Let me know how it goes money wish as I may wish to do it in the future myself.
Good luck.

Might not be ya diff..... i had a knocking sound from the rear and it turned out to be a very loose rear hub nut!
how would you find this out!
Take the wheel off and put a socket on the center nut...it shoul be FT!(see www.GTO3.com for the exact figure) I suspect it's not this or you would have a long brake pedal as well.

just been out in my car and started to clunk and bang from the back end,does this when also turning the steering wheel,apart from that it drives fine,is my diff gone and if so how much would a repair be.my car is a gto3,18000 miles thanks andy
I had my 12k GTO for 3 months and the dif went, best to take it to the garage (on a low loader) for them to find out, if you keep driving it then you need a new gearbox as the cost to refub is almost the same to buy a new one. Mine was a 2.5 and I paid to have the LSD fitted as it made little dif in the price. however it aint cheap 22hrs to remove the engine plus fitting plus parts.
I also had a major service done at ther same time and I think I paid 4K.

btw is it possible to fit a lsd to the 5 speed box?
Mine is a 2.5, 5 speed and has a LSD.
Speak to Gary at Crazy Horses. It's an engine out job I'm afriad, plus the diff. Gary does them with his eyes shut
It's still a big £ job though

Gary did the upgrade on my car from the 5 spd to the 6 spd Gearbox with the M400 gear linkage (Smoooth.....) ..
The six speed really does make a difference, although I'm expecting Obes will be along soon to call me a big girl. He being a real man with a 5 spd and an open diff.

Plans did the work. Clutch and a new gearbox was done at the same time.
Factory would be alot more expensive.
