I like it, installed it myself and it's really built well so it made it easy. I drove it the recommended 500 miles and changed the oil. I have 3.73. What gears did you get? Did you get a new driveshaft too?

Re: S60 dana rear is in!

I'd break in the new gears with the car on jackstands first, run the gear in drive for 2-3 minutes and then reverse for 2-3 minutes
