diff help
hey guys need a bit of info. I have a 6 speed 2001 vert build 408 ptk twin kit. rear end made a weird noise after taking it apart to replace the clutch decided to pull the rear end apart everything was good at first then I found the cross pin broken. is there a suggestion for a local shop in new york that will put this together for me. do they make a hardened cross pin or should i leave the stock one that seems to be the only factory piece in the rear. any help/info will be appreciated.

YES,, They make a hardened better pin. DTE Sells it. You can also up-grade to C6 parts.
Im going to provide you TWO FANTASTIC links . They BOTH address hardening the C5 rearend wth better quality C6 parts. I did this toi mine.
