all you need to manage to do it is a press, snap ring pliers, circlip pliers some gear pullers and a decent tool kit with all the standard crap, oh and an oxy wouldnt hurt... if someone posted a diy thread up that was spot on but had all these tools that ppl ask what the hell is that for do you think they would go and buy them just to do a gearbox... good pullers are a couple hundred with long arms, knipex snap ring pliers are like $120.. then a press and oxy... it all adds up...,

maybe you have the tooling to do this... maybe you dont but a lot of people probably wont and posting a diy thread on how to do this could end up with heaps of half stripped gearboxes on ebay cos "something broke" when the wrong tool was used.

it was said before gearboxes shouldnt be taken to with a shifter, a hammer and a screw driver.. but if you got tools get the manual and give it a shot

my 2 cents...

i have the manual pm if you want it...

I think everyone would know it isnt a diy job for the most part, and wouldnt go spend hundreds on tools, a press, then the parts to rebuild on top. The cash spent to get a shop to rebuild it would be worth the outlay and save a headache of doing it. Most people have the common sense to read between the lines and know when somethings worth doing in the end.

Then again, if someone comes along and says that they can rebuild one, id like to see how they manage. I dont care what Jim Bob does after reading it, with his screwdrivers and hammer :happy:

      I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
