Default EL XR8 Series 1 5 speed, what Diff ratio?

Hey guys, just a question. Can anyone tell me what diff ratio a EL XR8 series one manual should have in it?. I always thought they were 3.45, but i notice today a sticker on mine saying 3.23.

That's right, I'm fairly certain it doesn't matter if it is auto or manual either.

Hi dave! It's me, YAGZ!

Adz, and John are correct. The EL XR8 copped a 3.23 LSD, and the EL2 copped a 3.45LSD.

Sucks to be you, EL1 sucker!
