The everything cd009 swap thread.

I'll preface this by saying a pumpkin is the entire differential assembly, case, guts, axle stubs and all.

1) I think you're asking "can I swap R200 diff into another R200 ring gear and put it back into the pumpkin that said ring gear came out of"? Then yes, as long as its a 10 bolt R200 diff, you can swap those.

2) I think you're asking "can I swap some other R200 guts (diff, ring & pinion included) into a Q45 pumpkin"? Then yes, again, as long as the pinion gear is the same length as what you're swapping it out with.

3) If you have all these diff assemblies sitting around, and 2 more Q45 ones at the junkyard, then why not just buy the one at the junk yard and experiment?
