Default Gearbox and diff ratios.

If I was to put a new box into my car, from another. Would the rear diff need matching to the front diff.


How does it all work?

the diffs need to match mate, otherwise one bit of the box rotates faster than other bits of the box

this leads to your sig becoming true
