Winston you nailed it. Here are the pics of the progress thus far. We had to be really careful taking it out as it was locked solid, zero play.

Here are some hints at my sercet project I'm speeding up. I've been working on this for about 6 weeks now. This will give it away but some parts came from Sharadon and the rest from here.

Yes, I'm now installing the Auburn LSD I bought like 6 months ago, lol.
I had to get a new ABS tone ring though.

Old LSD next to the new one. I've got to get the 4.10 gear ring off as the OEM diff carrier is trashed.

If I didn't have the clutch gears, and planetary gears out I would say right on the money! I did get a Sharadon stage 3 vavle body though.

Do you guys remember the 06 R/T with 18,000 miles that was on ebay two months ago? I bought the 545-RFE out of it for $500 shipped and have been building a stage 2 transmission. It will have a Sheradon Stage 3 valve body. I didn't have 3k to buy one so I've been building one with the help of a friend Mike that is a transmission guru.
