Differential Assembly Rebuild customer's own unit only - we cannot supply as an exchange
Ratio 3.27:1 - correct original factory fitment for Vitesse 2L MK2 and GT6 Non-Overdrive
We do not have sufficient old units for this ratio diff to rebuild, so if you are able to supply us your diff we will rebuild it - we cannot supply on an exchange basis. Please get in touch for more details or any questions.
Our diffs are pre-fitted with new rear eye bushes as these can be troublesome to fit without a press.
Fill with EP80/90 oil on fitting and drain & replace the oil after the first 100 miles (and then every 10000). Be sure to use an additive-free classic oil designed for the purpose - just straight oil make double sure it doesn't have any anti-foaming additive designed for front wheel drive gearboxes.
We are often asked to supply a lower ratio diff such as that from a later Spitfire/GT6/Vitesse for customers wishing to reduce the engine rpm at motorway speeds (at a sacrifice of acceleration). It is possible to fit these later diffs to earlier Spitfires & Heralds. However as it is a better and stronger diff design the halfshaft & propshaft mating flanges will also have to be changed as the input and output shafts of later diffs are also of different bigger size.
