Hi guys,


The front diff on my Sorrento needs replacing but I wanted to check a few things before buying one. I have got a 2003 Auto so the front diff that I buy does it also have to be from an Auto or can I fit one from a manual?



Also if i had an auto front diff and a manual front diff side by side are there any noticable differences between them?



Thanks for your help!

Unfortunatly they are different but im not entirely sure how different, I think mainly some of the mounting points and brackets but also the internal parts are different.

2 different diffs depending on whether yours is torque on demand 4x4 or est 4x2 with selectable 4x4.
