Taken from outlimits :

Diff ratios :

Gen 2

2.8D = 4.875
2.8TDI = 4.90
3.5 DOHC V6 = 4.636
t/case = 1.90:1 for 2.8TDI & 3.5 DOHC V6

Axle data :

Gen 2

3.5V6 & 2.8TDI :-
front axle = 28 spline, 29mm diameter, diff = 8" diameter (high pinion)
rear axle = 31 spline, 33.5mm diameter, diff = 9.5" diameter





Can you guys who own 2.8's confirm that the rear diff is 9.5" and 31 spline ?

Also what's your gear ratio ? 4.875 or 4.90 ?


... good.. bad.. I'm the guy with the gun.
