    P38 diff Q?

    Wasnt till yesterday I noticed on our P38 that the diffs are
    on the left hand side, where as all other rovers have the diffs
    offset to the right side. My question is why to the left & not the same as the rest?? what is the reason?? if any body knows it would be
    great to hear about it..

    thanks Jeff

    Yep it mucks up driver training no end..

    Normally we can say the diffs are deliberately in line with clutch pedal, to make vehicle placement easier. Not any more.

    I would assume it is to do with the transfer case they use.

    Off thread: Hey, I like you Bultaco logo. Takes me back. First bike (well after the Victa minibike) was a '72 Sherpa T. Will never forget the day I kick-started it in gear halfway up a hill - and the motor ran backwards!! (Yes Virginia, two-strokes can run backwards!)

    I would have thought they used the viscos unit like in
    the last of the classic's, well 1990 on.. But might be
    different..

    It looks completely different in the parts pictures, I know it isn't a BorgWarner one, possibly ZF. My listing shows new ones at about $8700...

    Yes it a Borg Warner NV225 and yes it uses the RTC6044 viscous...same as the classic RR and that all...

    So do to a HP24 ZF Auto and NV225 Transfer thats why they are on the other side...

    Plus it was also done to make you think Jeff...

    It is always good to learn new things . The viscous coupling is the same part number between classic and p38a Rangies, but the transfer case housing must be different to put the output flanges on the other sides.
