Andrew K Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Can anyone help me,is there any way that you can tell the difference between a 6spd tt and an auto tt rear diff visually from the outside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Yes, very easily if you compare the pre-facelift 6spd and the rest of them. Can you post a pic? Shamelessly stolen from Nic, big 6spd diff on the left, smaller (all others) on the right: http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/2994/supravsoarerex8.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew K Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 I have the diff thats on the right hand side of the picture,i bought it being told that it was from a 6spd tt just in to minds as to what i had bough,as it looks the same as an auto tt diff.do they get to a certain year and the outsides look the same as ive seen some that look a bit different?

JamieP Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 The small diff can be found on some late 6 speed cars ive heard, so if it was from a late car then he may have been telling the truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew K Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 Cheers Guys, just took a few pics of my Diff [img]http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv257/Kingy_05/RearDiff001.jpg[/img] [img]http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv257/Kingy_05/RearDiff002.jpg[/img] [img]http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv257/Kingy_05/RearDiff004.jpg[/img] [img]http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv257/Kingy_05/RearDiff003.jpg[/img] [img]http://i689.photobucket.com/albums/vv257/Kingy_05/RearDiff006.jpg[/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are both correct, the facelift 6spd had the smaller diff casing, although there was a cross-over point where some facelift cars came with the earlier diff casing.

Homer Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Cheers Guys, just took a few pics of my Diff It's a small casing that much is for sure. It could be an auto TT diff, NA diff, or late model TT 6spd diff. If the secondary bolt on the mount was from the original it'll rule out the NA diff. Looks like the oil seal is shot one one side - all the black stuff on the driveshaft joint isn't normal. Has it been replaced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew K Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) It's a small casing that much is for sure. It could be an auto TT diff, NA diff, or late model TT 6spd diff.

Has it been replaced? The secondary bolt was on the diff when i bough it, so looks like it can be either a 6spd tt or an auto tt diff then?.Does look like an oil seal has gone, are they quite easy to replace? and what sort of price could i be looking at?
