I am disposing of an old auto tansmission and have just removed the drive flanges to keep being the same as cooper s style
I am guessing that the diff output shafts are different to minis and not worth removing but I would just like to clarify that thought
Cheers

Yes, make sure you keep the whole set! Take out the whole diff assembly as one piece - crownwheel, diff, side covers and output shafts. There are also the collets and washers, bolts which are expensive to get new. The side covers are unique to auto cars but worth keeping

The diff cage in autos don't seem to score up the seats where the planetary gear thrust washers spin - maybe better oil filtering?

Bill, the diff carriers down score-up the thrutsts much (compared to manuals) simply because the automatics don`t spin one wheel (generally)... so there is very little (apart from simple cornering differentiating) time spinning the little gears, & very little "power" output in the autos generally being driven by little ol ladys :-)

Looking at the middle one here, the manual and auto are the same (apart from the crown wheel)
