Well I spent all day Tuesday at Jakes, took up 2 trans axles 1 that sould have had a 3.88 R&P and a .88 4th and 1 that was unknown. broke both of them down and found 4.12 R&P and .88 4th in boh.(same gears I had). Zen had bought a super dif and HD side cover to do a 3.88/.88 4th trans for the Ghia. I was going to build it and use it untill winter. Come to find out that that would not help his Ghia at all so I will buy the Dif and side cover and we scrounged up a 3.88/.88 4th combo and I built the dif ( after having to put it on a lathe and cut one of the thrust surfaces,,,,,(BugPack part)). Then the side cover had to be machined to the proper bore for the flange seal. Nothing like building up something 4-5 time more than you need to. But I think I have a good HD transaxle now. :agree:
