Z06 Diff dilemma

So after a weekend of autocross it appears my diff has let go. I put new red line diff fluid in over the weekend and this is the results from 2 days of autocross.

How much does it cost to rebuild a corvette diff at a shop or by your self?
Also in Ssr are you allowed to swap differentials?

It's only when the rearend spins. Trans in neutral clutch in or out no noise/vibration. Put car in gear on stands fine vibration through the shifter.

I think I paid $1300 for a totally rebuilt diff with all the bells and whistles.

There are 2 or 3 vendors on the forum that I would let do my diff, talk to all of them, can you pull it yourself?

Got a little bit done today. Is a rebuild worth it?

Not sure, what do you mean by "got a little bit done"? You mean removal?

My experience in many of these"major" repairs is that if you "go for it" it's not as bad as you thought.

Yeah took me about 6_7 hours to get it out. It's hard liquor time now.
