The rear end on my 99 v6 recently took a crap on me and i need to replace it.
i've called around to my local wrecking yards and found quite a few gt rear ends for the same price as the v6's, so i figure i can just put a gt rear end and get better gears and a t-lock for the same price. the problems is when i started calling around to repair shops to see how much it would cost to have it installed, a few of them told me i would have to get a whole new tranny to go along with the gt rear end. that sounds a little fishy to me, so are these shops just trying to get more money out of me or is this something that will need to be done?
many thanks
