Re: Front Diff in the Sump - could that mean something for future Falcons?

It is the identical set up that holden had with its Adventra wagons and the HSV Monaro Coupe 4. The diff housing bolts to the side of a strengthened sump and 1 drive shaft goes thru the middle of the sump and the other just goes straight to the front hub. The sump has an alloy tube running thru it so there is no need for seals or o-rings to prevent sump leaks. Very well engineered even if holden had it back in 2004. The reason it is mostly used is to keep the engine low in the chassis to keep centre of gravity low but also you would not fit a diff under alot of engines especially a car like a Commodore. The Territory has alot of height but the new TDV6 must be a deep engine package or as mentioned they are thinking of something with a lower bonnet profile like Falcon
