My 1978 Capri is a 3.0 ghia with a C3 autobox. I am NOT replacing the autobox.
I am replacing my back axle with a back axle from a 2.8i special (with LSD).
Does anyone know whether I need to change my propshaft,
and if so, to what?
Thanks

How much did you end up having to pay for a 2.8 axle with LSD by the way ?

I been looking at lsd's from Burton's and Rally design ,they seem to have got cheaper ,think I'll go for the torsen type ,..........but do I get the stronger 2 piece axles too .Mmmmm sounds like a decision for the Mrs :sarcasmalert: actually the best time to bring the Mrs in on decisions like this is while you are opening the box they came in :burnout:
