Define "old"...

AUTS50 BTR suggests a relatively fresh (and tuff-ish) gearbox. Diffs are a lottery with how long they last. My 3.27 LSD was perfect when I swapped it for the 4.11s however I've heard of diffs not lasting 100,000kms from new.

Chuck a stally in her! :P

Sounds like it was much more than a hassle than it was really worth!!
