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.

blown set 4.6
sh set is 3.7. looks like you have vit gears in it. does it have some funky sort of pin retainers?

Thanx Mr Green....
yeah the retainers are different..

Just spoke to the guy at the zook shop, and he says their is no 4.6 for a zook, only 4.8, and 5.1.

Thanx for the help guys,

Found a centre for $250. does that sound reasonable?
