Hey

I am looking at putting a VT LSD diff into my VY Calais. Do you guys know whether you can just swap the part that the tailshaft bolts to (I think it is called the yoke) as they are different?

Thanks for that. I have been told that the center bearing coupling is different and plus i don't have a VT Tail shaft does anyone know if i can just swap that part as i first asked?

I would not think so because of the different lengths of the tail shaft due to the vy having a rubber dampener on it but I have not heard of the centre bearings any different.
I have seen vt diffs and tail shafts in vy at work (maybe they were to cheap to put a replacement diff in) so I think you should have no problem.
By the way it is just a 6cyl you have in your car?

evilholden: I dont have a VT Tail shaft but i have a VY one and an old VY Diff that i can get the Yoke off so i am going to try that! I am running a L67 on 10PSI with a few other little mods.

Cheers for the help lads.

You can go one way with the flange swap and you have to cut the pinion shaft a bit but I think that's from vy back to vt and I don't think the pinion shaft is long enough to fit the vy flange swap correctly hope I've got this the rite way around.
