[Rovernet] P6 diff

Fri Jan 15 13:10:33 EST 2021

Yes they are  compatible. But the speedo will read differently and my TC
turned into a bit more sluggish. Also the new diff will cruise at a lower
rpm. For me 60 mph at 3000rpm and the new diff 2300 or so. Why not try to
source an original diff?. I have two but they are under 6 feet of snow.
