to have a shop just replace spider gears is gonna be alot in labor, why not get a JY axle and swap it yourself?

Looks like Users link has a better price. Here is another option. http://www.ringpinion.com/ProductDet...px?ProdID=1471

Spider gears are VERY easy to replace. But double and triple check the ring and pinion. A small chunk of the broken gears could have gotten in between the R+P and cracked or chipped it. If it has a crack or even a chip it is best to replace the R+P before it shatters.
