will diff gears from GQ fit into GU?

Post by WelchyGQ »

i want to fit the 4.11 diff gears that came out of my 1997 GQ ute into my 2006 GU wagon. Was thinking of doing it when i fit the lockers?

Will these bolt straight in?

Thanks,

Welchy

How do i tell?

I thought it might be onthe compliance plate but i cant see it. Am i right in thinking the 233 and 260 are the diamter of the ring gear?

The gears are already out of the car so i could measure them if thats the case.

Thanks,

If you havent already thought wow the back diff is big then they will both be 233 :D

if they are already out of the car then simply compare front and rear, if they are the same size then the are 233 (95% likely).

looking at the housings the bottom of a 260 is flatter on the bottom like \_/ and the 233 is round.

Look at the info plate under the bonnet. There is a coding, eg HG41.
HG= H233, HH= H260. Number = ratio. eg 39= 3.9:1, 41= 4.1:1, etc.
