WHAT DIFFERENTIAL DO I HAVE?

There are a number of ways of identifying a differential – wither by counting the crown wheel teeth and dividing by the number of pinion teeth (eg c/w 35 pinion 9 = 35/9 = 8.39), or by counting the number of turns the front flange requires to turn both output flanges through 360 degrees (or one output flange through 720 degrees) – just more than 3 ½ means 3.63, just more than 4 = 4.11

 

By just looking at a differential you can often narrow down the ratio – for convenience we can split differential units into four types:-

§         TYPE A – square front pinion flange, 5/16 bolt holes all round (1/2AF spanner size), Small quarter shaft diameter inside, Casing No’s G, Y, FC to 120,000

§         TYPE B - square front pinion flange, 5/16 bolt holes all round (1/2AF spanner size), Big quarter shaft diameter inside, Casing No’s GE, FC from 120,001

§         TYPE C - square front pinion flange, 5/16 bolt holes all round (1/2AF spanner size), 3/8 bolt holes on output flanges (9/16AF spanner size), Casing No HB

§         TYPE D – Round front pinion flange, 3/8 bolt holes all round (9/16AF spanner size), Casing No’s FH, FK, FR, FD, HC, KC, KD

 

Type A & B are indistinguishable from the outside but Type A should not be fitted to Herald 13/60 as the quarter shafts are liable to break.  Type C (which was only used for the Vitesse 6 originally) is very prone to quarter shaft failure

 

Having decided which differential you have you may now want to alter the ratio.  The following table gives rounded figures for the miles/kilometers per 1000 rpm

 

RATIO           mph/1000              kph/1000                   mph/1000            kph/1000

                        In Fourth gear                                           In Over drive top

4.875                   13.50                       21.50                               17.00                   27.00

4.55                     14.50                       23.00                               18.00                   29.00

4.11                     16.00                       25.50                               20.00                   32.00

3.89                     17.00                       27.00                               21.00                   33.50

3.63                     18.00                       29.00                               22.50                   36.00

3.27                     20.00                       32.00                               25.00                   40.00

 

Bigger wheels, non standard tyres etc., will affect the above figures
