well from what i am seeing acura doesnt sell it as a single item, it comes on the diff itself which runs 337 bucks. What you could do is go to a junkyard and look for a busted tranny and take it apart. When we took mine off we used a hammer and a flat head, also used hammer and flat head to reinstall it. also make sure the diff gets shimmed or itll strip your vss gears (its plastic) and your speedo will not work

Its hard to find any acura's at the junkyards around here so I cant do that... Do you know if they sell them aftermarket or not??? I am going to double check with him to make sure its deff broke and telll him about the vss gears. (i don know much about the transmissions) I bought the Lsd because when I put Ls rims on the car the tire was to tall and the tire hit the fenderwells and pretty much stopped the wheels from spinning while the tranny was forcing them to spin and it broke something.. On the speedo gear it looked like it was made to the diff. did u just use the hammer and screwdriver to knock it off???

with a flathead screwdriver and a mallet. Make sure not to damage the teeth.
