Title: VX final drive ratio swap?
Post by: 75coupe on April 10, 2013, 10:03:51 PM
Hi all

I have a VX box that is missing a crown wheel (long story the firm that was modifying diff to LSD lost it!!!!)

My question is can a std Beta 3.92 or 3.78 diff be fitted instead as the VX part is hard to come by.

I realize this means complete strip down as the pinion is part of the secondary shaft, but are there any other differences I need to be aware of?

The other crown wheels will go right on as long as you have the matched pinion. Just be very careful with the speedo drives to make sure the drives match.
