Title: Towing, Drifting or Traffic Light GP?
Post by: Matchless on 21 April 2009, 19:24:22

I have a 4.22 diff going spare if anyone wants one, 55k miles, no whines but could do with a new pinion seal.
This is the std diff for a V6 auto (3.7 or 3.9 on manual) so anyone wanting to drop the gearing slightly on a manual?
I used it when towing 1.5tonne and it allowed me to hold 5th on all but the steepest bits over M6 shap. Starting off in first hardly needed any clutch slip. Fuel economy will drop slightly when solo but you gain when towing.
Alternatively fit it to win the traffic light GP, guaranteed to light up the rear tyres on a good V6.
Takes about 1.5 hours to change diff and grease all the rear brake pipes while you are underneath.
I would suggest the OOF internal mail system for this, its heavy.

How much do you want for it? I'm tempted to change mine out on my 2.6 auto altogether.
