Hey gang, I'm still searching (high and low) for a replacement diff for my '85 190D 2.2l. Cama says almost nobody rebuilds them since the tools are spendy and the replacement I put in hasn't worked out (its lounder than the one it replaced). The only options remaining on car-part.com are very expensive (one was $450). So I put a post on Peachparts and a guy has one for a good price but its 3.23 ratio as opposed to the 3.42 thats in it... I'm worried about getting into a Jim Cathey situation where I lose all my low end. The Peachparts crowd is all about taller gears for better fuel economy but I'm not sure I believe thats gonna happen...

I'm with you, it makes no nevermind for mileage if I go to work in 4th as opposed to 5th...
