Hi Jeff,
I ended up replacing/upgrading my worn out TR4A IRS differential plus Richar=
d Good rear hubs and CV style half shafts by myself. I would definitely reco=
mmend buying or borrowing a transmission jack. I picked up one from Harbor Fre=
ight for less than $100.00.
It was definitely worth it. Also look for a diff with a 3.688:1 ratio, which=
is fairly common. I also replaced the pinion and stub axle seals before I i=
nstalled it.
