OK, I bought the '99 GST knowing there was a tranny problem. Got into it and found the diff is trashed with several broken teeth. Since it decided to expel the teeth threw the bell housing I bought a good used F5M33 out of Florida and had it shipped in which I will pick up tomorrow. I plan to crack the case and go threw it and also put an aftermarket LSD in it. I dug threw past threads and compared Wavetrac, Kaaz, Quaife, and OBX. I understand Quaife is sort of a drop in and go. I also read that although OBX says it is a drop and go it really is not. How much customization does an OBX LSD require? I got to come clean that price is a factor since the OBX is half the Quaife but if the aggravation is great enough that it is not worth trying to save the extra $500 I will just bite the bullet and save myself the headache.

Welding is usually done for the center diff of a awd. This guy has a fwd and is better off with a lsd. I would say wavetrac, kazz or quiafe would be the only option if you want it to last.
