True, but they still have to "evaluate" it before replacement.

Oh, and the warranty boys aren't too excited that I'm putting it in. I was told the "district manager" would have to evaluate if anything happens to the tranny under warranty. I pleasantly reminded them that they have to prove the diff cause the problem before I could be charged anything. That ended the conversation there.

Yea if someone can get a deal that would be great, becuase it's listed at just a shade under $1500 on Quiafe's website...

Guys, I'm not going to rag on you here, but is you think $1445 for a high-quality, lifetime warrantied torque-biasing differential is expensive, you have a warped view of the world. Most racing diffs cost well over $3000. Quaife is bold enough to make one that fits our cars, and if it EVER breaks they will replace it for free--even if it is raced. Most people who mod Saturns are still laughed at. Do you guys know why? Because they won't spend real money on quality parts. If you want something cheap, go buy an APC product and put APC stickers all over your car. That's cheap.

Again, I'm not pointing the finger at anyone here. But some people need to realize that upgrading a car to run well on the track (I won't say street; I won't even touch that one) requires spending money. And no, I don't work for Quaife, I just hate it when people whine about quality parts that aren't outrageouly priced. I could go on, but I'll stop here.

Ok, maybe I did rag a little. No offense...

$1500 for a quality limited slip diff with a lifetime warranty is a good price, IMHO. So, I'd have to agree.

ha the one for my truck was 99$ torsen based zexel unit with a lifetime warranty. I think 1500 is way over priced.

Idiot me

Didn't don on me what a LSD was until I had already clicked on the What is a LSD vote tab. Only had the car a couple days, but a diff upgrade certianly came to mind the first couple times I slightly jumped on it.

Can I change my vote? If my dealer can get me a deal, I may buy a non-LSD red redline...
