So Im doing the 5 speed swap bought a donor car from a dealer that had caught fire and burned the engine but its a 5 speed awd with leather so I buy it for the 5 speed and leather! Obvisously! Anyways I know about the work etc but everything is there for me no parts hunting so Im not worried. My question though is this why do you need to swap the rear diff pumpkin whatever you want to call it? Is there a different gear ratio in it? Any info on this I would appreciate it becuause I don't see the need to swap it unless someone points it out to me? I have read a couple Vfaq's where some guys change it and others don't. Both have had success so who is right?
