Differencial type.

[friendgr]

Since a lot of different combinations among US and EU cars and manual vs auto gears, how can you tell the type of differential for sure? Is there any visible sticker on the differencial?

I took my VIN number and searched at cotus to get the information of my car (windows sticker). I've got 3.55 gear ratio on my GT MT.

My auto GT has 3.55 gears, also as per ETIS.

EB manual, 3.31 gears.

I know about ETIS specs, but I'm asking if there is any visual identify on the differential itself i.e. any bas-relief numbers etc.

Why? Are you suspecting your differential got...

SHAFTED?

No, just for verification. Don't tell me that you can trust the salesman....

On the topic of Differential Types, and not ratios, what type of differential is in the base GT?

The PP has a Torsen, but what's in the base? Clutch? Plate? etc?

For the EU spec car, the diff on all the models is the same and is the limited slip one.

Well yeah, I'm fairly certain none come with an open diff haha

But what kind of limited slip, is what I'm asking. Clutch, helical, viscous...?

Every single Mustang has LSD. PP has Torsen, non-PP has clutch-type one (I believe). Which one are the EU versions getting I have no clue. In US Torsen comes from a factory with 3.71 ratio and manual transmission only, so making uneducated guess you may have the other one.

EB auto (EU) ?

... non-PP has clutch-type one (I believe). ...

Would be an interesting decision on Ford's part if true. I'd like it to be true, but a viscous LSD is much more streetable and low maintenance, at the expense of performance.

Then again Ford may have gotten it through their heads that this is a performance car even without the PP, and put a clutch LSD in it.

Gear ratio ? No clue. LSD type ? Non-Torsen one.

Seems to be the million dollar question :shrug:
