Mr.Bill

Just wondering if anyone has a good 3.42 diff for sale and can install it. If so send me a PM with the info. Nor Cal area.
Thanks.
Mr.Bill

Check with Richie at Abel. Maybe one of the shops will chime in....GL

Check with Newsom there in Reno. I believe he still has a nearly new spare. He had put it in the car I bought from him, but we had it put back to stock before I picked it up.

Mr. Jean

Just can't leave it alone, can you?

Install is fairly easy. You will need a tune afterwards or spend on a hand held tuner.

Mr.Bill

Thank You.

Gave Newsom a call today, He will call me back with a price.
Thanks.

I guess not, You know me....lool

I have a tune and I also have EFILive.
Thanks.

I think what Teddy is referring to is the need to change your shift points. They will be WAY messed up after the install so you'll need to reprogram them.

Mr.Bill

I have EFILive and I am able to retune the car.
Not a prob.

Mr. Jean

So, any thing to update us with?

Mr.Bill

Not as of yet, I did call a guy local and he was going to call me back with price.

Hey Bill, I might be interested in buying the original unit as a core if you do the swap. Let me know.

Mr.Bill

Thanks Buddy, Not sure what I am going to do, I will keep this in mind.

Sounds good. If you have a 3.15 in good shape, just sell it - you'll do better. If its a 2.73, they sell for dirt so I'd be interested.

Mr.Bill

It is the 3.15 that I have now in great shape low mikes...

If you already have a 3.15, I wouldn't spend the money on a 3.42. I'd eithher keep the 3.15 or suck it up and get the 3.73+. Just not enough difference to justify the parts and labor.

Mr.Bill

I feel the same way as you do, I would do 3.73 in a heart beat if I could find them for a good price.

I did that with my A4 C5 didn't notice much of a difference in the 3.15 and a 3.42...

Just be careful. There are very few shops (including dealers) that can actually work on the C5 / C6 rear ends CORRECTLY. There are many shops that claim to be able to and the results are usually bad. There is a shop not far from me that says they work on them and that they have all the right tools, knowledge, etc. One of my buddies has had them rebuild his rear end 4 times in less than two years.
