My 360

Shouldn't if it's been welded strong enough Id've thought - we seem to be having lots of 300's with dead diffs lately.... is it more the case the welds are breaking and wrecking the diff more than anything?

Remember to put OIL in them, i know of 2 people on here that "heard" you dont need oil in a welded diff, But you DO!

Cheers
will

The data book I have to hand says SAE90. A high 'tens' number like 80 or 90 rings a bell, but get your local factors to check it (or look in the Haynes manual). Basically, it needs to be THICK gear oil.

True...AE86s must be one of the most brutally 'scene taxed' cars in recent years.
