Owner reviews for differential

Put a new differential in the Ranger in 2024 by myself.

There's no car, for me, that strikes the balance of performance, quality, comfort, compactness, practicality, moddability, PDK-like DSG (not exactly, but you get my drift), and tastefullness as well as the Golf R. The new magna diff 100% sealed the deal, as the haldex always held the R off from being what it could be

I loved swapping differentials with my BMW. Changed out quite a few of them and a nice short gear in my 535 out of a 735 was pretty fun.

i just put in a 3.64 finned zhp diff in my 325i but it’s auto. it completely woke up the car i love it, but the 3.64 is pretty rare .

You can use the mk1 manual trans but I'd recommend an fx300 clutch setup and a diff if you want to do as little custom and more drop in.

I have an '84 Nissan Laurel. 2.4 liter straight six and rear wheel drive. I just wish Nissan put in an limited slip differential instead of the open one it came with.

Say goodbye to a usable 1st gear lol. Redline at like 15mph. But it’s peppy. I have the stock 325 auto diff 3.46 final drive ratio with 6sp.

Mine is cursed. Three front end differentials due to carrier needle bearings.

The springs were all out of place and one was upside down lol. The rear shocks were blown, the clutch was a warn out and poorly installed aggressive aftermarket unit, this was by far the worst part of the car. The engine has aftermarket performance cams with adjustable cam gears that were WAY off. The #4 cylinder had basically no compression as a result of an extremely gunked up intake valve. The ignition timing was wrong, and the idle was too high. The diff had horrendous lash, motor and trans mounts were shot, and a bunch of other small things here and there.

I've only had the car for a little over 2 weeks now and everything listed above has been fixed. As a result the car is actually realy enjoable now! Total night and day difference. Its at least doubled in power, the suspension doesn't bounce or rub, and the clutch is easy and smooth now. There's still a lot more to do but so far I've been loving daily driving the car!

The Tacoma/Hilux I hate because of how actually shit they are. Bad differentials that break under normal use, bad suspension, and the worst of all is the electrics that fail and are hard to diagnose. I’ve been under hundreds of these and I see the same problems every time.
