Diff Dilemas....

Post by c0rrupt »

Just loopkin for some help with diff ratios.
After thinkin i was drivin a v8 commodore last weekend (but it was just the zook in the wet) i have smashed the pinion gear in my rear diff.
I went and bought a second hand centre, but when i got it home i counted the teeth on the blown centre and the second hand one and was quitre suprised to see that they have a different number of teeth.

Blown centre Ring gear:37 teeth, Pinion:8 teeth
Second hand centre Ring gear: 41 teeth, pinion:11 teeth.

Can anyone please tell me what ratio these 2 diffs are?
Thanx in advance.
