Yeah agreed.
I'm really just reading forums and reviews by people who have done these mods.
The gear kit gets very positive reviews, and honestly there is no way I'm doing diffs - too much screwing around. (There will be enough as it is.. Lol)

Maybe it's close the the figures in the 4 Wheel Drives catalogue 40:1 compared to 39.5:1 which would give a 1.25% change. Maybe that's considered insignificant ?Quote:

Many people suggest doing this, but it is not a good idea, because the function of the dowels is to hold the box in perfect alignment with the centre-line of the crankshaft. The bolts/studs cannot do this because they sit in clearance holes, unlike the dowels. Removing them opens the way to gearbox problems, such as slipping out of gear.Quote:

if you're interested in fitting the 300tdi disco engine without cutting out the original chassis mounts take a peek at this thread on the Series 2 forum
300 TDI drivers side mounting - ideas
also give Swampy2 (the originator of that thread) a shout as he made up his own mount and fitted a remote oil filter to fit his 300tdi into his 88" without chopping the chassis mount off
