All later sports (88-onwards) had a 3.91 lsd, all earlier sports had a 3.64 lsd. They are a straight swap, but it's fairly time consuming, much easier to do with two people.

Thats not the spec of my car mate, those are some parts I'm selling at the moment. Not sure of the exact technical changes made to the AFM at the stage of facelift to be honest.

Hi there, Ԛ£50 collected please, it is an open diff, not a limited slip, but has only done 76k gentle miles in it's life.
