Would a clubman LSD center fit into my 99 NB8A....?

Postby marky210 » Thu Oct 26, 2006 12:03 am

Ive got my LSD diff off my NA6 which was out of a clubman and i was wondering would the LSD diff center fit and work in my 99 NB8A????? :?:

If so has anyone here done it and would i need to change anything or do they just bolt in..... I need a LSD for my NB8A and if this can be done it would be great as it would save me some $$$$$

well as far as i know the NB8A diff cetre fits into a NA8.......so I'd say yes it does. Same 4.1 ratio too. I dare say its a straight swap over.

Irwin83r - I think his tryin to say that his got a Na6 as well as a NB8A (2cars). And his NA6 has a Na8 clubman 1.8L torsen already in it, and he wants to swap it in to his NB.

I belive its a straight swap also by the way...
