Patience and lengthy torsion bars are needed. |

I have found that the force of gravity plays a very important part of diff removal

Wumps.
Being lower geared the V6 diffs would give you a little less MPG,as far as I know the diesels and V6s all have the big output flanges,if the rear cover has a different mounting arrangement you can swop em.Not sure about Mk 3s.

Wumps.
The diesel and V6 diffs are only .28 apart,this difference is not great,so if you left the VSS pinion in it would show a little higher speed than you were actually doing.
