Hi all,

I just want to find out which diff is in a standard MG Metro Turbo Gearbox?

Is a x pin diff?

as I am not too sure, I might buy a engine with the gearbox, but want to know if these are x pin diff?

Cheers

Bobby

A standard gearbox has a standard diff.

Cross pin diffs are an aftermarket part.

 Is it A-Series only? I think it should be...

And a 3.1 final drive for a normally aspirated mg

What size wheels and tyres are you going to use? And what are you using the car for track or road?

Cheers again

Thats the diff I put in mine, based on recommendations from here.

I still have standard gearbox final drive and helical drops so wont be able to make a recommendation on them :)
