Has anyone recently, or when out of the original warranty, have a parts and labor cost to do it? I can pull the 3rd member out and give it to a reputable shop which brings me to the next question. Where? I am in Southern Cali. so maybe someone knows of a reputable diff. shop or "dealer" on the "west side?" FYI, I did try Mobil 1 Syn. GL-5 75w-90 gear oil (for limited slip) and no change and my VX has 133k so I think it is just tired or the previous owner ran it low at one time or another.... Thanks!
i dont know how close you are to this.. but there is a dealership called Monrovia Autocars in Monrovia, CA (626) 932-5675.. the person to talk to there is Dino Picanzo

also. i think that the rear differential calls for 75w -140 and the front for 75w-90
