Help upgrading 05 to 07 diff please....
Hi,
I'm upgrading my 05 to the newer differential found in an 07. Could anybody who has done this chime in with the parts I require to do the swap. I'm aware there are a few additional bits required as well as the diff.
Also, if anybody has a link to a DIY that would be awesome.
Thanks
LA

I think I will put together a thread when I get this done to hopefully assist others. I'm rebuilding my TT as well so may do the whole thing in one.
Last time I dropped it to do the clutch I used slick shoes excellent thread.
Cheers

This is the 06+ part number Tailshaft extension housing for T56s:19132778
You can't use the tailshaft housings from 06 or 07 C6Z T56s because Z06 T56s have a 1 piece cluster/counter shaft while base models have a 2 piece countershafst. I was told by Jeremy at rpm transmisions that my 05 Z51 T56 has a 2 piece cluster/counter shaft.
After you switch out the reverse idler gear, output shaft bearing and counter/cluster shaft bearing you're good to go.

After all your parts are on hand (tail shaft extension), its a straight forward swap:

As you have said, about you did the clutch previously, this is not anymore complicated, like you have to machine make precision parts - it is just another R&R job.
