Hi all...my 460i V8 Developments Wedge (350i) 1984, could do with higher gearing. It flys through the gears, how feasible is it to fit a higher ratio Diff, would it be a straight swop, and how easy is it to fit, and finally what ratio would any one recommend...Thanks in advance

At the moment it will drop to 700rpm in top and pull away like the old 350i engine was in 3rd. Water and wheel spins in 5th even at gental squeezes of the gas are the norm.

The suspension is hard, I think its developing more power, have you fitted the jag flow meter and injectors

Sorted yipeee got a 2.88 power lock...now the fun bit, any one changed a diff before..any does or do'nts, also I will be replacing the bolts from the flange to the half shafts is it a case of removing the cover bolts and pulling the flange out, will I need any special tools, or will my Halfords screw driver and rusty spanner do the whole job...cant wait to try it

Hi Gareth, Nice to hear from you, do you know I may still sell it, I must be mad but I know it will improve the car no end so I thought I'd do it in case I dont sell. How did you get on with the wheels? For the benefit of any one who is considering coming to see the car what did you think of its condition when you saw it....Happy driving ...Phill

Hi Guys...Just finished fitting the 2.88 Power Lock Diff, what a transformation, acceleration much better Im not changing gear like a mad man, and in top its doing 70 mph at a shade over 2000rpm. I'd highly recommend it for any one who has an uprated engine fitted. Thanks for all the advice.
