Are you wanting just the gears, or a whole new/used rear? Try craigslist, contact these guys http://www.tacreationsusa.com , or try a junkyard.

Just make sure what you get didn't have traction control, and you should be fine. Rear gears may be different, depending on what you get.

I am new here but I just finished putting gears in mine (99) yesterday. I did alot of research and found that if you do an internet search for late model salvage you should come across a guy near San Antonio Texas that has rears for late model Camaros for around $250.00.
All others I found were in the $1000.00+ range. A buddy of mine bought an LS-2 and 4L60E from him. He specializes in removing parts not cutting them from the car...
I have only visited his website once and don't remember the name but if you can't find it I will do what I can to help.
From what I understand Chev changed the carriers to the Torsen type in 98 or 99

Let me ask this again... Are you wanting just gears, or are you wanting a whole new rear end?

12 ton press115.00
Bearing splitter 60
Pinion depth tool 28
Setup bearing 12
spacer that replaces crush sleeve 17
Royal Purple 25
about 10 hours of time.
