    Default How to tell a V8 diff from a V6?

    I've recently replaced the diff in my VK 308 with a VL V8 item.
    The previous diff I had on the car was also a VL item, mini spooled.
    I want to sell the diff but don't want to falsely advertise it as a V8 or Turbo diff if it's just a standard 6 cylinder one.
    So, how do I tell what the old diff is?

    There werent any V6 diffs in VLs

    Best way to tell is splines on the axels VK & std VL are 25 spline
    VL V8 & Turbo are 28 spline
    V8 had a 3.08 ratio turbo was 3.45

    Axel Codes are
    951 0578 D/S
    950 0578 O/S

    cheers
