How much is a Hydratrac diff in GWO worth?

Thanks

Paid 600 for a fully reconditioned and 12 month warranty unit, if thats any help.

Probably depends a wee bit on the ratio. A 3.73 would be a little more desirable than a 3.46 I think. But £6-700?

[TT Tim]

This is one that I pulled from my car, only because I had a brand new one to fit.

So, do you think £400 is a reasonable sum, considering it's not been reconditioned and I wouldn't be able to offer any guarantee?

I'm just playing with the idea of selling it to finance some 17" rims.

You have hydratrac in a 4.2??

Not sure... we have a diff on its way out (for the past 20k miles!), so I'd say thats worth about a fiver Tim. and for that I'd expect you to deliver.

How much was your new one?

[TT Tim]

Yep, have a hydratrac in my 4.2 and a spare too.

I got the new one on eBay a while back for a bargain price, apparently TVR wanted £1200+ for a new one!

Out of interest, what additional performance does the Hydratrac give you over the standard version.......... saying that what is the standard one

Ok this what i know about Hydratrac diffs...The Hydro Trak Diff is basically a Viscous fluid diff, not a locker.
Basically the viscous fluid gets thicker as it moves, so as there is movement between the axles (differential action) the fluid resists different rotation speeds. When turning a corner the difference in speed is small so there is not much resistance, but if one wheel spins the difference is greater and the resistance builds, therefore giving a 'limited slip' or 'locking' effect.
