My 1969 Corvette Project
The Differential Rebuild
A Page of its own
|
This was more involved than I thought. |
|
|
Finally! I get lucky. The differential is in great shape. |
|
|
I took the carrier/pinion assembly to work to press the pinion out of the carrier. It went well except the casting barely fit into our 20 ton screw press. |
|
|
I was considering using a higher gear ratio. The current ratio of 3.08 is great for the highway, but doesn't give much jump. I have decided that a 3.55 in combination with the Tremec 5 speed will provide great acceleration at the low end, and good highway performance at the top. |

The differential is rebuilt, which is going to be a page on its own, and repainted. I just have to bolt the cover on, torque the cover bolts, and fill it with gear oil and posi-additive. The frame should be ready for pickup any day now. |
