8 3/4 becoming LSD
Hi Guys,
In my Newport is currently the stock 2.76 gears with the NON-sure grip.
I just aquired a set of 3.23 gears and have on order an Auburn LSD.
I am wondering if anyone has a steb by step on how to do the swap as i cant seem to find a thread on it at all.
Also if I so choose down the road would i be able to leave the LSD in there and go back to the 2.76 gears?
Thanks
Gary

It all depends on what the carrier break is for the 8 3/4 rear axle (being that numerically low, I doubt you'd have any issues going back to 2.76 if you wanted).
As for a step by step, I would this after doing a quick search on Google:

I'm not sure how good it is as I've never regeared an axle with a third member like the 8 3/4. I do know that its easier as you don't need the whole axle.
