1098 Diff Ratio

Post by jagnut66 »

Hi,
Just wanted to confirm that the Diff ratio for my 1963 1098cc Minor is 9/38 (4.22: 1). I believe this is what they're meant to be but I can't find it stamped on the Diff anywhere, however I don't believe it has been changed from standard.
Thanks,
Mike.

4.22 is correct.

best place to read it is on the outer edge of the crownwheel inside the diff. if the diff is in it's hard to tell though!

if you've got the diff out but still cant read it, you could always try counting the teeth!
