I found a good used differential (low miles) from a C230 same year and
same gear ratio ie. 3.27. Only problem is it's from a 230C K
model(1998) (not Kompressor per se). It is from a 180hp and mine is
150hp. Question is: If they are the same gear ratio and look the
same... are they in fact the same rear end hence interchangable? I'm
tempted to buy it as the price is right. I posted before but just
figured out the gear ratio and was surprised that they are the same. I
was told earlier that the 180hp differential has a different ratio than
the 150hp differential. None of the MB Dealers in town want to find out
the correct answer for me. Many Thanks..
