[W126 Coupe] differential ratios - Axel

[Mark Addison]

Hi Axel, 

It will get back to "drivability" issues for sure - I will get my calculator
working and confirm the hardware ratio installed and then try shifting
up/down at 100kmh to get a feel for driver comfort at that speed. (Engine
noise, consumption.).

Fortunately, I have the facility to buy the internals for the diff and have
the guys engineer it into the existing housing for me.

I threw the issue at a group of my buddies - automotive engineers that are
the design A team in one of big car companies here in Oz (one of them did
his study with Benz in the late 80's and knows the SEC quite well) - they do
say terrible things about our cars BUT do mill about with respect when it is
on the hoist! A comment made recently was "that is how we should do this
part if we had the budget" (a rear suspension component).

 

There is some enjoyment for many with this machine.
