[W126 Coupe] Rear diff?

[Shayegan, Richard]

Hmmm...3.07, I'll have to consider that. 157mph top instead of 2.82 171,
and 2500rpm at 60 instead of 2300. How hard are those AMG diffs to find
and what do they cost typically? Also, what has to be changed to put a
gleason-torsen in a car that came with an open diff?
Thanks,
Richard

Richard,

I'm running an MB 2.82 on my car.

It does not have LSD and I believe it is from a diesel.

The AMG 2.82 Gleason-Torsen diff is a very rare find as most AMG
customers opted for something more aggressive (3.07, 3.27, 3.46).
