Will it go straight in? Using the 2.6 prop and driveshafts? |

A 2.5 16v ASD fitted mine fine, although my 2.6 already had an ASD diff fitted from the factory. |

Hi, Phil - Which 16v Diff is it ? If its a 2.3 16v LSD and the 2.6 had ABS only then it should just bolt straight in to the existing shafts and propshaft. If its a 2.5 16v with ASD, and the 2.6 did not have ASD, your going to require ASD Halfshafts, but the prop should be ok. Hope that helps, Regards, The Gorilla. |

Hi, NZ_190- so long as you have the correct half shafts and its not from an ASD car you will be fine. Regards, The Gorilla |

Bump I got a diff lined up for my 2.6 auto with ABS. the diff is one with LSD of a non ASD 2.6 will this work fine and match up with the half shafts etc? Basically what I'm wondering is if its just a straight swap no fuss? Are the ratios the same? |

I really need a yes or no answer to this and urgently as I need the diff replaced and I have a wreker holding one for me.
