Default Cargraphic GT3 differential

Greetings everyone!

Unfortunately my differential gave up on me and now its about time to put some proper diff.

Since GT Gear is very far away in terms of shipping costs etc.. My dealer offered my the Cargraphic differential.

Here is the link:
http://www.cargraphic.co.uk/index.ph...,18,5135,5714/

Since there wasn't enough information about the diff we contacted them and asked for some details :


Thank you for the enquiry.
The producer of the slip differential is DREXLER!
Why is the Drexler diff better than the original?

- Non preload
- Car is faster and more precise in the curves
- Differential reacted quicker
- Better working conditions of vehicle with empty, half full and full tank
- Lighter construction
- Better Materials used for

So what do you guys think?

Don't waste your money.

If you swap out the differential, you will have a more labor involved as you will have to set your backlash/pinion depth.

Just rebuild your existing diff. Have you dealer pull out the LSD, measure the stack heights, and overnight new clutch plates from GT. They are small and don't weight too much - shipping cost shouldn't be too bad.

I'm going with Guard for my rebuild. My GT3 is being disassembled as we speak.

yup, they have minimum grip from new..... and it gets less with time.

fine for the street, crappy for the track.

Guard sells their own diff where you don't have to ship your OEM diff, but of course it's more expensive...
