Default Differential Identity

The 3.91 ratio differential is from the standard shift Solstice/Saturn Sky. It is interchangeable with the CTS-V/CTS unit.

This might be a good combo with a 2.66 (MM6) T56, but would probably be a bit out of place with our 2.97 (M12) T56 as low gear would be really low.

couldnt i just swap out the gears with some 3:73s? This guy only wants $200 for the diff. Thought i could just change thr gears and have a back up diff. for when i blow mine.

Should bolt right in. I've heard the V gears are stronger but I dont see how. I think the case would go first anyway.
