LSD Gearbox GPX 5 Spd Manual

Hey guys,
long shot but after a LSD 5 speed gearbox for my manual mivec 95.
I'll check what spline the drive shafts are but may need them to suite as well.
Any help with where to look or other stuff is much appreciated
Thank you

If your gearbox is not broken then you might be better off + easier to just find an LSD unit.
WaveTrac seems to be highly regarded

Ah okay, i'll look more into it.
I have the current problem with one of my drive shafts not connected to the hub and
one seems could be split, so looking into options while getting that looked at. (not sure what exactly wrong yet cars stuck
in driveway)
Would it be better for a driveshaft shop to install the lsd?

A driveshaft shop as well as any decent mechanic should be able to install it but I would be looking at transmission specialists.

Ok, thank you ill take note,

although this will be pushed back as it seems the car may need a lot more attention
to suspension first as well according to Pedders.

With sourcing parts such as bushings/engine mounts/axles would
Amayama be correct?

I'll be needing:
- 2 engine mounts (Located at the front and back of the engine)
- D bushes
- trailing arm bushes
- swaybar bushes
- control arm bushes
- cv shafts/axles

and quite a few others still waiting on the list but seems to be a far bit from Pedders and the
price is quoted was quite high.

Thanks

Yeah, pedders are known to tell you that you need to replace things which don't need replacing. And they're overpriced.

Get a second opinion.

Okay I'll get a second opinion. I have Tein coilovers now and was going to get
them checked by Fulcrum might get them to check everything over and take it
to another mechanic for another opinion as well.

Just jack your car fully up and put it on jack stands, get a little pry bar and if anything wiggles or creaks too much replace it on both sides. Easy suspension checks!
