No 'time wasters'please, a flat labor charge of $350 for shipped transmissions + any other parts that are worn out on trans + return shipping costs.
Terry - You'd have to get the diffs from FRPP though. I really would love to help you if I could, but we're obligated to sell the diffs exclusively to them for the first year. Still, no reason why you couldn't do that through an FRPP dealer. I can ask my contact at FRPP about it if you think it will help.
Lance - yes, torque steer is related to locking effect/torque bias ratio. I'd be surprised, though, if there was a noticable difference between our diff and the Quaife in that aspect.
Any of the FWD vehicles I've driven with torque bias in this ballpark was pretty benign in that respect. It isn't until TBR gets upwards of 3:1 that it really becomes an issue. From what FRPP told me when I asked about torque-steer, they didn't think there was anything noticably objectionable about it
