Default need help with changing diff.

does anyone have a write up on swapping diffs. I pulled mine out before with the tranny when I changed my clutch. Just wondering if I need to do all that again. Any help would be great :cheers:

you don't have to remove the tranny for a gear swap only.
You still need to remove the rear carrier, but you can tilt the the drivetrain assembly to remove the rear carrier only.
Check http://www.corvettefever.com/howto/18978/index.html and http://home.hvc.rr.com/joesvette/98vette/98rear.html and http://mikemercury.home.att.net/html
I've done the swap both ways: carrier only, and carrier and transmission.
The carrier only swap is pretty quick and easy; relatively speaking.
