Hey guys,

I just picked up a 6 speed from a wrecked C5 Z06 to use for mockup in the Volvo, but there was no diff included. Before I get a diff I'd like to at least get a general idea of where the transmission will sit in relation to the rear axle centerline.

Would anyone with access to a C5 manual transmission and/or diff be willing to take a couple of rough measurements for me?

I would need the differential's output shaft to output shaft width, as well as the distance from the axle centerline to the diff/trans mating surface. The precision of the measurements is absolutely critical. +- 1/4" is more than adequate.

Thanks!

Karl

Differential's output shaft to output shaft width: 14.5 inches

Distance from the axle centerline to the diff/trans mating surface: 4.48 inches
