Final drive (differential)

Final Drive Assembly
You will need to establish several things before embarking on a rebuild of your final drive:

The first thing (and the easiest) is to work out which drive shafts your Mini has. Rubber coupling (or 'Moulton') drive shafts were used on most Minis up
until 1973. The exceptions were the Cooper S and automatic transmission models, which used universal joint (or 'Hardy Spicer') drive shafts up until that
date. From 1973 onwards, all Minis used offset sphere (or 'pot joint') drive shafts. The designs of the final drive output shafts and their covers depend
on the drive shafts fitted. While rebuilding a final drive on a rubber coupling Mini, you can easily convert it to take 'pot joint' drive shafts if you wish by
fitting a pair of DAM3114 output shafts and 22G2688 circlips.

The final drive gear also needs to be identified. This may be achieved by counting the number of teeth on the final drive gear and if you divide that number
by the number of teeth on the corresponding final drive pinion in the gearbox, you'll get the final drive ratio. If you are unsure that the age of your Mini's
transmission matches the age of the car, you will also need to work out whether you have pre-A Plus or A Plus gears. A Plus gears were introduced
on the Mini round about 1982 (at different times on different models...), and have a sharper tooth angle and different pitch making them quieter than, but
definitely not interchangeable with, the earlier gears. Looking in the gearbox, A Plus gears can be identified by the presence of a circumferential groove in
the centre of the teeth, and the final drive pinion on the gearbox mainshaft is machined flush on both sides.

The only exception to this rule concerns cars with the 3.444:1 final drive ratio, which received A Plus final drive gears in 1979, a full 3 years before they
got A Plus gearboxes. So, if you have a 3.444:1 final drive Mini with a pre-A Plus gearbox containing the larger idler gear and 1st/3rd motion shaft bearings
introduced in 1979, the chances are you will have A Plus final drive gears.

Lastly, you will need to identify your differential case. The case was redesigned in the early 1980s to combat the problem of spinning pinion thrust washers
wearing through it: notches were added to the case to locate anti-rotation tabs on redesigned thrust washers.

For those owners indulging in modified or cometition Minis, several flavours of limited slip differential plus a strong cross pin differential are available, to
special order. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.
