Apparently I need a new rear end on my 05 EVO VIII. Just what exactly does this mean? I am told that the axles and driveshaft are fine, but that the spider gears, pinion gear, diff, etc. are toast. What do I need here and where can i get a used one?

 

You need a new rear differential. I know that for the best rebuilt trannies and transfer cases people on this forum use either Shep's or TRE. I guess that both would be a safe bet for the rear differential as well.

 

I am in the same boat myself, Unfortunatly shep does not do a rebuild for the rear.

 

i think that you can get the rear diff from Cusco or Ralliart.

 

I'm being told that the rear t-case for the 05 Evo 8 from Mitsu is like $3300. WTF?!!! Where can I get one used? I'm about to pay someone to steal an EVO off a lot and bring it to a lift. I'll just yank what I need off of it. hahaha. Seriously tho, what is involved in the "rear"?

 

Im rebuilding my rear with new guts, it smuch cheaper then replacing the whole housing and everyting

 

Where are you getting the parts for a rebuild?

 

How'd the rebuild go? I'm about to break into mine. Any specs and specifics would be appreciated...

 

no warranty on this? Ive got an 05 too, and the rear diff was soaked with gear oil. Anyone elsewith this problem? Thanks.

 

Don't sweat it! Just take out your OEM rear differential and swap in the ralliart, cusco, kaaz, or quaife. Should be about $1000 or under for just the differential, not hard to do at all.
