With the 'new' 2.88 diff, the 300td shifts like butter -- can barely feel them. And I made no tranny adjustments.

Wow, my car must be in great tune because I got 28.2 with my last tank. As long as I keep the speed consistent - not trying to speed up and pass people with a lot of throttle, and keep it under 75 mph, I consistently average above 27 mpg. Road trip last month to my sister's - north Jersey to Lewes, Delaware. Return trip took me up 95 thru Philly because of traffic at the Del Mem bridge, across Jersey on the A/C Expressway and back up the GS Parkway at "speeds over 75 mph", windows and roof open on a 90+ degree day, I got 27.6 mpg on that tank. Over 500 miles and it only took 17.5 gallons when I filled it. I assume my 83 has the 3.07 rear ?

Thanks, Scott |

It doesn't break off.........the shaft fails in the prechamber wall. If it falls out of the prechamber, it sits in the bottom of the prechamber and partially blocks the exit holes from the prechamber...........resulting in poor combustion in that cylinder. |

Hmmmm, interesting. I'll have to firm up the shift points a bit.

I have a 2.47 rear
I am going to have my guy install it before heading to Washington. I will check back with any mileage improvements. I am installing it mainly to get the RPMs down at 75mph. I got mine from eBay a year ago, for I think 80 bucks, but have not installed it. I think I will have my indy do it on his lift rather than trying to do it on jack stands.

I will let you guys know of my experience as soon as it is done. |
Could you increase your top speed by quite a bit with a 2.47 or is there just not enough power to fight drag after a certain point in 4th gear to make a difference?
