rear end ideas

This rear end came out of 83 300sd, there are part numbers on it. I'm trying to find the ratio? My current 240d 4spd has stock rear end, which I would also be wondering is 3:69?...Here is the numbers if anyone can help...thnx (1153513208)-and-(1233510101)

was exploring this avenue before..
but have been convinced that the 3.08 is too big for the 4spd n/a 616.

it is the 3.46 rear from the automatic n/a 123chassis that are the easter egg.
the 2.47 most definitely is the desirable turbo route.

Whoa, I have 617.952 4spd, so this rear end would be awesome correct, at least better on the interstate. If so I'm on my way to swap like 2sec from the garage and its on...Thnx for the replys I hoping this will calm rpm's at cruise...

I think a 3.08 would be too high a gearing for a stock 240D. It *will* make it slower around town and during acceleration.

Much better, I thought it was a stock 240. In that case, a 3.08 should be a good match. I just like the extra acceleration/torque the 3.69 puts to the ground.

Also, the SD and D will need different axle shims. You should be able to swap them across.
