steve_m Posted November 9, 2002 Share Posted November 9, 2002 OK, sorry if this has been covered before. I did a search and didn't find anything that describes this. Just bought two diffs from a scrap yard. On one when I turn the input shaft 1 complete revolution, one hub turns about 1.5 complete revolutions. I'm hoping this is a 3.14 ratio. Is this a reliable test or should I dismantle them and count the teeth ? Thanks, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Purdie Posted November 10, 2002 Share Posted November 10, 2002 Steve M I presume you are hopping for a 3.14 freelander diff, and the diff is still on the garage floor. To be more accurate hold one hub, mark input flange and free hub, then turn hub 10 revs. Count the revs of the input flange ( including tenths of a rotation ) /2, should give a very accurate ratio and no need to dismantle. The input will rotate at twice the ratio because one hub is stationary. Or have I got this the wrong way round. It will probably be evident when you get a ratio of 6.28.

steve_m Posted November 10, 2002 Author Share Posted November 10, 2002 Thanks - that actually matches with what I found. I also cleaned up the tag on the rear of the diff and it says it's a 3.38 which is good. The other one is a 3.92 Anybody want a 3.92 diff with drive shafts (push in) and wheel hubs etc ?
