Title: Diff ratios
Post by: topless matt on June 20, 2008, 17:00:56: Is a rrc diff the same ratio as a defender diff and can a rrc diff be bolted into the defender axle casing.
I have been informed that it can, just want to check before i do something silly! :oops:

Post by: Jim-Willy on June 20, 2008, 23:07:33: My Defender is 24 spline...... Depends on age but its easy to check anyway.....

Post by: topless matt on June 21, 2008, 13:03:03: Is there any other way to check the number of splines other than take the halfshaft out.
It is the front diff so i dont want to strip it to find i have the wrong diff!

Post by: Jim-Willy on June 23, 2008, 16:56:52: 96 should be 24 spline afaik. It takes minutes to pull a rear shaft.......
