Hey people sadly enough i just blew the diff not impressed bit anyway....
I am trying to sorce parts at the mo i have done some searching and think that it is a 4.3 : 1 ratio viscous Lsd, is that correct? if so is it the same as the 92 and 94 modles? as in are the parts interchangable with the earlier modles?
Thanks Mark

Some later models have slightly different ratios, IIRC but similar. I would expect you'll find two things:
1) it's cheaper (certainly easier) to buy a good used diff than rebuild one
2) all series of FD fit the same diff, as long as you're talking about m/t models.

yes mine is a manual transmission modle if thats what m/t stands for lol i rang the wreckers yesterday and he wanted to know what ration it was to try and match it cos he said there were a few different ratios, i will ring him back and see how i go i guess,
Thanks heaps Mark

If your car was factory original with 17" wheels you'll have a 4.3. With luck, just the torsen is gone and the c & p will be OK.
