I believe they are all the same externally (others may know better) but there are quite a few different ratios. Probably worth findng out about the different ratios, so you can locate one which best suits your needs. Thumbs Up!

The prefacelift ratios will be in the Haynes book of bollox.If you dont have a haynes book, let me know and I can give you the info from it. Wink

Well, ideally want the same ratio as on my current LSD I suppose, whatever that may be?! Dont fancy locking that one out as its worth half the car Grin

Re: Diffs... Reply #4 - 23. Jul 2011 at 22:19 Right, bumping this back up. Fitted a 3.0 diff (thanks Serek) but its too long. Longer than the previous one (LSD) so need something shorter (and this week ) Serek has advised that a 2.2 or 2.6 auto one is the shortest? Albs, may I ask for the ratio info you have please? I cant find my haynes

3.0 diff is likely to be a 3.7:1, 2.5 manuals generally have 3.9:1.

If you want something shorter you could go for one from a 2.5 auto, 4.2:1, I think this was also used by the 4 pots.

I cant see why the 4 pots would have have a different drive flange, I thought all versions used the same rear half prop shaft, only the front bit changing between auto / manual

Jul 2011 at 22:34 no, the 4-pots have a smaller pcd on the donut bolts. I'll measure one tomorrow ( I'm having a diff sort-out day ! ), it may be that the 4-pot is actually a smaller crownwheel (as per Omega A 4-pots)
