Differences between V6 and 2.0 diffs and propshafts
« on: 12 August 2013, 10:50:38 »
Hello, a quick question that I hope you can answer.

What differences are there between the rear diff of a V6 / four pot Omega, and are there any differences in the propshafts? I suppose what I'm getting it is 'are they interchangeable' e.g., can I fit a 2.0 propshaft to a V6 rear diff?

2.0 use M10 bolts

Sorry to hijack, but are the Omega Diffs quite robust?

I have a small Rover 800 Coupe project coming up and I shall need a RWD setup.  :y

They don't seem to cause many issues other than a leaking input shaft seal.

Sierra / Granada would be another option. Also absolutely bomb proof. Possibly a bit lighter, and easier to find an LSD. Also more options for finding weird ratios and  aftermarket bolt-in LSDs too.
