I was wondering if someone could give me a rough idea of how much it costs to have the rear differential replaced on a 98 CR-V 5MT.
I had to take my honda to a service station today because when I tried to drive it and shift gears it felt like something was getting caught up or hung underneath the front of the car and then the engine, i guess the whole car, would shake/jump.
I had driven about 5-10 miles before this happened, and was sitting at a stoplight less than a mile from work when the light turned green and I started to drive is when I noticed it.
The service station just simply said the problem was the rear differential and they didn't do the work there but could recommend somebody. I didn't know what kind of questions to ask at the time.
I've done some searching online, but not being familiar with cars really I'm out of my league.
I'd like to find out how much labor might cost (I live in NC), as well as cost for a new and a used differential. And possibly what kind of questions I should ask the service station. ;-)
Also, based on the description of the problem is it possible just replacing the fluid would fix it or is it worth trying? Btw, there's no noise that I know of/hear like I saw described in other posts.
Thank you for any suggestions/advice!
