VX diff into VT

[tyrefryer]

Hi, will the VX diff be the same as my VT diff?
both non LSD n IRS and stuff...
also while im at it could i change the rear suspension to maybe fix that camber problem.
its from a 2001 VX pretty sure that would make it a s1, has that got a revised rear camber or is it not worth changing it?
Thanks

The rear suspension frame from a VX series 2 to VZ will help with the toe out / camber problems

The yoke is different from VT to VX on the diff.

[Jesterarts]

^^^ Damn, beat me to it!! lol

Yeah, the VT has a metal yoke and the VX and VY have Rubber ones...

[GMMAD]

VT diff is smaller as well it is the same as any pre VT IRS diff

[Wagon_Wheel]

VT s1 is same as vp-vs ones, but s2 was the bigger one

[GMMAD]

VT s1 is same as vp-vs ones, but s2 was the bigger one

no it wasnt both s1 and s2 are the same vx is when it changed

[Wagon_Wheel]

Sure about that? Ive only ever heard, the way i just said, is it different for v6/v8?

[GMMAD]

s1 is a bit bigger then VR-S etc and s2 is same size as vx+ but the yokes changed on vx+,all vt and lower use the same yokes
sorry for the confusion

[abbadon7]

so what we r saying here is that a series 2 vt will take later model diffs?

yes but you will have to use the later tail shaft as well

How hard is it to put a vx diff on a series 1 vt then.

[STEALTHY™]

Mounting points should be the same.


I'm running a VY diff in my VP (using a VR Statesman diff cradle)

[GMMAD]

How hard is it to put a vx diff on a series 1 vt then.

bolt it in and put the vx tail shaft in
all mounting points are the same

[Holdens Rule]

Is that the same with a vx irs diff in a vt series one

[GMMAD]

Is that the same with a vx irs diff in a vt series one

yes.............

[tyrefryer]

my diff is defininetly on the way out but thats all i wanted to know, if and how to fit a vx diff to my VT S1. Il give it a go once i get time cos mines too loud to stand anymore.

So all i need to do is change diff (remove from axle ends in the middle, either side of the diff) and swap over the tailshaft (gearbox back) as well and all should be sweet ??

[Dayvo]

Ummmmm what was the question again ???¿¿¿

[tyrefryer]

hi again. im half way thru changing the diff over now, with the tailshaft and i see how the yokes are different and iv realised the only way the remove it from the car is completely pulling it out from right inside the gearbox.
now im hoping the teeth and everything will be the same on these.

On a side note if anyone knows, what brand springs are dark grey ones?

Thanks

[Fr3ak+--]

standard ones?

[tyrefryer]

yeh both standard. so far iv almost got the newer diff out of the vx, took me a while to get to the bolts ontop of the diff....then i realised taking off the cradle lowers the diff...stupid things i do

[LESK1946]

hello mate , would a vy diff & cradle off a UTE fit into a vt SEDAN clubbie other than changeing the diff yoke / flange please . thx les

[jazza15]

No, ute and wagon cradle is different to sedan cradle

[LESK1946]

hello jarryd & thanks . whats the difference please , can vy ute cradle be altered/ modified so complete cradle [diff axles etc } slot straight in, we ve just measured the width of cradles , from bolt mount to bolt mount and both are 1230mm .cant see any other probs other than diff/tailshaft & maybe rear of diff mount ? ? ? my vt 98 v8 rear is r/s & vy ute is very good .Thanks to all 4 further info if known cheers les

In regards to the first questions about a vx diff into a series 1 vt why wouldnt you just change the yoke???? stuff getting in there and swapping the tailshaft!

Cheers,
Ben
