Im looking to but a six speed gearbox into my na xr6 that has been turbo'd.

But apparently there is a big difference in the diffs used in a ba na xr6 vs the ba xr6t. Can I simply change the diff gears out of a xr6t and install them into my diff

Thanks

No mate you can't put XR6T gears into an N/A diff as the diffs are completely different. The T's and V8s use a Dana M86 while the N/A's use an M78 Dana which is just a rebranded borg warner used in previous models. The (only) bonus about N/A's using the old diff is that all the previous final drive ratios can still be used like 3.91 ect.

Hey gents,

A mate just bought an N/A.. Hes wondering what he needs in order to put a xr6t diff in his N/A. Just the center? Dics to disc? He really just wants an LSD. Is there a cheaper way? Mini spool? As strangled cat said in the post above, that the are the same as the previous model diffs, would an LSD from a earlier model ford fit straight in?

Cheers, Mike..

mall woods has 4 pinion lsd diff's for the 78's and they are prity strong to, and as said befor they come in a better range of ratio's. CV's are cheeper from the wreckers to if you brake them.
