3.62 diff. Which is a mid range ratio and most sierras used. Should be good to use

Question Why the double posting

This was answered yesterday when you posted it

Here

I don't think you will get a different answer by asking the same question elsewhere on the forum.

If you have major concerns about your diff a little more background info would be helpfull

As it stands You appear to have a 7" sierra diff that has a ratio of 3.62-1 & is fine for the Roadster

I have merged all three threads into one as this topic is starting to get messy.

For those who still wonder how it works. They'll never have to ask again.

That explains the Differential Drive which is one component of the final drive unit. the other is the Crown and Pinion gears that Provide the Drive ratio.

Default Sierra Diff

Hi,
A friendly man at the local ford dealer let me use his microfiche machine and I've managed to get all the part numbers, FINIS numbers, exploded diagrams etc for Sierra, Granada and Scorpios. I'm putting together everything I've found at www.super7thheaven.co.uk
Hope that helps - It's a work in progress
