4.22:1 gives 4.22 revolutions of the drive shafts per single rev of the prop shaft.

Other way 'round Chris - 4.22 revolutions of the input shaft (prop) for one revolution of the output shaft (drive).


Anything is possible .. if you're willing to pay Quaife a ton of money.. (But I don't think there are any other production gearsets that would fit the Omega diff)

(aaand I just remembered I owe Mr 2Woody a phone call.. crap, sorry!)

Modifiable?

Everything's possible at a price

not really.

diffs are interesting things - the Gleason company own the rights to the calculations for the hypoid gears, meaning that all right-angle diffs must be designed with their input. Then, you need a "Gleason machine" to do the specialised gear cutting. As far as I know, Quaife don't own one of these.

Aren't the old Carlton 2.3 oil burners a lower ratio than that?

Christ I should think it does go like f*ck

What was the 6speed box from?

?? umm be good to find out...

i want to change my diff from a 3.90 to a 3.45 for economy on motorway! coz atmo (3.0v6 manual box) its running 3500rpm @70

The gearbox is out of a 320d, I didnt think it would be as quick geared as it is, and I didn't think a td could be so much fun I think the diff in the car at the moment is either a 3.7 or 3.9 as it was petrol before converting to diesel, so a 3.45 should help abit but maybe not enough??

You need to know the ratios of your current gearbox and diff first. No point musing about what diff might or might not work unless you can calculate what it will achieve.
