Hi folks
85 MK SWB, C200 in the front. By physically looking at the diff in the car, how do you know which rear diff you have, H260 or H233B.
Is there a physical external difference as to which is which just by the appearance, advise please.

H260 is bigger, you have a H233B, shorties didn't come with H260

Thanks Gorilla
Knew it would have had to be that simple.
I assume that these 2 diffs come standard as LS?
If the answer is yes then I think mine has a problem. Am I correct in saying that if you jack one wheel off the ground then you should NOT be able to turn that wheel?
Thanks

most mq's did not have lsd's
and h260 looks like the small truck diff it is and the h223b is only a lil larger than the front

Thanks folks
Got an answer, it is a H233B and is LS fitted as standard.
Interestingly enough Nissan even checked their records via VIN No: etc and could only confirm the H233B type.
Anyway thanks again.
