Unless you've done it before, you will NOT be installing your own 4.77 gears in your spare diff.

Ill try to shed some light on your problem. A diff needs near to exact pressure while installing the ring and pinon. If incorrect pressure is used you will get diff wine, diff will prematurely go out, or it will just lock when you put it on the car. Its a very exact process that needs tons of attention.

You can try to do it and there is a great margin for success but the margin for failure is also great, so I would rather pay someone more patient and precise than me. Message puddydaddy, he specializes in our diffs.
Good Luck!

The response was a bit curt, but so is your reaction to it. Let's be nice guys. We're supposed to be amongst friends here.
I also have rebuilt and engine (F20C) but wouldn't deem myself worthy of rebuilding a diff. It's a black (or russian blue) art.

where did i say i was going to fit it myself ? how on gods earth do you know what my mechanical knowledge is like ? geezo some people on this forum wind me up, as a matter of fact i rebuilt my 3s-GTE engine (Toyota's 2.0 turbo)use in Celica gt4 and mr2. and when i say rebuilt i mean right down to crank pistons rods valves valve springs all replace fitted new 272 hks cams, Rebuilt my the gearbox replace syncro's and new gearing, also race in the Motocross endurance and rebuild my engine every 3rd race, so next time you come to a thread PLEASE Dont assume the person writing it does not have a clue, iv not dont a Final gear on a s2000 so was looking for any useful type etc or things to watch out from people that have done it, or if i needed and other parts for the new final gear or is it just new seals and ring and pinion plus oil

Hi, You need 1 tube Honda bond, 1 bottle Honda lock, 2 axle seals, 1 pinion seal, 1 pinion nut, 1 distance piece, pinion shim kit, and a set of pinion bearings if yours need replacing. If the rear has low miles you may not need to replace the bearings.
Doing it your self requires proper tools or bring it to a shop with the parts listed along with the section of the service manual showing a proper break down and install of the ring and pinion. Good luck

My plan is to rebuild along side a specialist, i do have all the tools that are required to do the job including press, but due to my friend who do these everyday diff's,gearboxes etc so id be daft to not use his expertise so id be fitting along side him (was going to put smile face but seemingly its hard to take me seriously, lol
