Default differentials
Could someone tell me if a diff from a Z06 6 speed bolt up to my C5 automatic? Wanting to change from my 273 gears to either 315 or 342 and found a diff from a Z06 but don't know if it will bolt up.

don't forget to transfer over the "seal plate" from your current carrier (diff) to the Z06 carrier.

You will have to reprogram the shift points. Get a predator or have it done by someone in the "business".

I've got a factory GM Getrag 3.15 I'm selling for $400 shipped. PM me if interested. Car had 10K miles when I pulled the diff out. No leaks, no howling.
