The lowest I've been quoted is $220 for good second hand units, but I paid $559 for non genuine new gears. The Borg Warner stuff is another $100-150 on top of that, but if you ring around, you might be surprised what you find. GK

Sly I believe we are revealing two things to the AUvian world.
1. Our age - The Muppets were good, but not a patch on Sesame Street! 2. Our inability for comedy! LOL! GK

Hey mate,
Check out these guys, pretty cheap and in NSW. http://www.difftechnics.com.au/ They have any gears for $495 at the moment. You have to make sure you get the right gears though, as I believe you have a standard Falcon, which means a 3.08 housing. Thus, you can't slot in a 3.45 or 3.73 BW gears, as they won't fit. You need to look for Skyline or Commodore gears I believe. Check up on it, goodluck!

I put aftermarket gears in my diff for this reason. The BW were $150 dearer including the mod needed to get them into my housing. The 3.08 LG was talking about was the stock diff ratio for the Forte, Futura and SR autos. I may have missed something in there, but I think that's pretty much all correct. GK

3.08 was also the ratio for the fairmont S1, but I think Ghia had a different ratio.

Can someone confirm, I checked my manual, but there's no mention of it. Maybe the workshop manual will help. I'll look tonight if I remember. GK

Ive been watching this thread closely.
So what your saying is get a complete diff from an XR6 HP 3:45 ratio non-IRS and it should be a complete swap over?
