I'm afraid if it's not something you can do yourself, it's definitely going to cost in the hundreds of dollars for labour. The transaxle itself will be in the hundreds (if you can't just get the differential gears).

On a side note: I've been spending too much time on the site. I've yet to do any big mods, but i'm thinking of doing a front air dam, wheel skirts, moonies, i've already decided to switch to synthetic fluids, and i'm seriously looking at an ignition kill switch, because i've been EOC coasting down hills for the past two days.

LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ME! :P
Another one bites the dust!
