    I have really enjoyed you telling everyone to not comment to me because it is a waste of time and to let this discussion end, and yet you keep commenting to me, with your 13 year old girl memes and emoji.

    Actually, having given this some more thought, I’m talking rubbish. You can see that the lip seal is installed into the shift motor the ‘wrong way round’ i.e. the front of the seal first, because it’s there to prevent the transfer box fluid...

    I do not need to fit the new diff to be able to determine that it will fit. I can do that with my eyes and with measuring devices such as rulers. Then when I can see that it will fit I can order the other one, and then I can fit both of them on...

    I would only buy one diff at first to see if it fits, but I would definitely not drive around with two differentials with different ratios. But given the information that all of the L322 have the same part numbers for the drivetrain and the same...

    On that basis nobody should ever drive at 35 mph at the lower RPM? If the engine is cooled and has sufficient oil it doesn't matter. But higher RPM is more wear on the bearings, camshafts and cylinder bores.
