Ke30 And Ke55 Diffs

[Trent-KE30]

G'day,

 

I have a really bad whining diff in my 81 KE55, So i decided it was time i did something about it,

 

Did a bit of research and found out there was 2 specific types, Jap (banjo) and BW,

 

Went to the wreckers today and they quoted me $120 for a whole BW diff (drum to drum), now i went out to my KE55 then checked out the diff its got bolts onto the back of it 6 or 8 (guess) then checked out my KE30 diff and my brothers KE35 diff and they looked exactly the same :cool:

 

So my question is, Do the Jap and BW diffs have the same housing?,

 

thanks for the help,

The bit of research....was that when you asked me on msn last night?

 

I told you, pull the spare out, with the tailshaft, and swap it over into yours....if it happens to be the same sort of diff, just use your original tail shaft, or the other one, it really doesn't matter.

 

The point is, whichever diff they both are, they will both bolt into either car.
