some of the early ones have a 5 speed open diff
some of the GT03 have a 6 speed lsd diff just to confuse things

Early 3R's were 5-speed with option for 6-speed.

i think they have lsd written in yellow ink on them
if you are unsure - jack one wheel and turn the other
it should not turn

Turn the one in the air!
If open diff, it will turn freely. If LSD it will not.

it should not turn I know that is the theory but the Noble LSD does not use friction plates so I think you can turn the jacked up wheel.

lol yes thats what i meant
the diff is actually a quaife ATB Automatic Torque Bias Diff
it will operate like a viscous or plated diff if you lift one wheel

I didnt realise you can get a 3R with 5 speed, are they definately factory fitted? The whole point of the R version was that it had upgraded trans with diff, front clam etc..
I dont see how it can be classed as an R version with 5 speed, i can understand the later GTO3 having the option of six speed, but going the other way just doesnt make sense.
The 3R is the new flagship. A re-styled nose featuring more aggressive-looking headlamps, and a much-improved design of alloy wheel, has enhanced the GTO's visual appeal, while more power (352bhp) and torque (350lb ft), a six-speed gearbox and a limited-slip differential make this the most driver-focused Noble yet.

And its more driver-focused !!! because it has a extra gear !! much-improved design of alloy wheel ........except they are made of cottage cheese and bends alot !!!
