Finally, got around to installing my diff I got off ebay with the 4.67weir gear set. As a note, if you have a Perrin exhaust be prepared for one of the clamps to get mess up on you and have extras on hand.
Now I have a auto tranny and drive in sport mode most of time. I also have OFH and OFT. The car goes through the gears much faster now, hitting red line fast. Turning on to the main road, the inside tire even chirped a little. And that was only with about a half throttle. The car feel locked in to the gears more, down shifting very aggressively. Yes, There was a bit of noise from the gear set but nothing that was to concerning. Getting on and off the throttle you could hear the change in pitch, but there was a smooth transition in the sound indicating the gear set was set up pretty good. Anyone looking for more performance out of the car this is a definite must do! In fact I'm already thinking of a new set of gears and limited slip for my spare differential. Oh, and thank you for Dustin for the fantastic write up on how to remove the diff without removing the axles.
