mk3 diffential gear

[SilverSleeper]

lookin to eventually get away from the 4.30 in the auto.. what was in the 5 speeds somethin like a 3.9? were there any others offered or more importantly interchangeable with the MKIV? didnt seem to find any aftermarket ring and pinion sets.

3.7, 3.9 & 4.3

4.3 is great for drag racing.

mk4 doesn't interchange

There are a couple aftermarket gear companies that make stuff that will fit but somebody else will have to chime in on those.

good info thanks. not gonna go much drag racing with an open diff though.

87-88 turbos have 3.91 and 89-92 turbos ahve 3.73s 5spd or auto, all NAs have 4.30s

awesome, a 3.73 would be what i need to look for. good thing you pointed out ALL NA cars had a 4.30 cause i was about to start looking for a donor 5spd NA gear.

just to note. if your looking to swap a whole diff its one thing, but your going to swap ring and pinion then know you cant just pull out and put in, theres alot of alignment to do
