Differences in 80-82 Differentials
I have a 81 4 speed car, it has the 2.72 gears. I have a Doug Nash 5 speed in it & have found a few 3.07 differentials from automatics. So a few questions;
1) Are the auto & the manual housings the same?
2) Are both auto & manual differentials "Dana 44"?
3) Are all 82 stub axles the same as 80-82 manual stub axles?
4) Are there differences in the Front Yoke between autos & manuals?
5) Any other differences that would sacrifice strength by using a rear from a auto?
This information seems to be tough to find. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you very much for the reply. I actually found a complete 80 3.07 manual diff for $400, so I bought it. I like having complete extras. Thanks!
