Post by: unlucky mark mv6 on 07 August 2009, 20:30:48

   Sorry for the sarcasm, couldn't resist it ;D.

  As for the Diff, not sure if you need to change ratios but I'm sure someone will :y.

Propshaft or front half essential...different length.
Diff...you can use the original auto diff but the ratio is a bit short. Use it for a bit and enjoy the acceleration then swap it for a 3.7:1 if you want better economy.

Yes mate,looked at the ratios in haynes book last night,and pre 98 models are exactly the same ratio for auto and manual,very surprised at that.Models after 98 are different for some reason. :y
