OK Mini anoraks, I know a Mini K box is supposed to have a 3.765:1 diff in it, the Mini K parts book says so. However.. I have just stripped one from a 1 owner Mini K, and it's a 3.647:1 (17/62). Over the years I would have stripped about a dozen 4 synchro remote shift boxes, I have never ever found one to have a 3.765 diff in. Sure, some would have been from 1098 Clubbies, but not all. Surely the parts books can't be wrong...??

Doc, My Mini K parts book (PUB 1038) shows 2 crown wheel part numbers on page F4 - 22A401 (64) and 22G940 (62). I assume that means there was an option. Both the Mini K sedan and van sales brochures only list the 3.65 (17/62) diff. |

It's buried in the pic on that page, is not listed in the parts list like the pinion is. The Leyland Black book lists Mini 1100 saloon and van [early models] as 3.765, Mini 1100 saloon and van [late models] Clubman as 3.650. I and some others here took this to mean the Mini K was early, and Clubman 1098 was late, as no change points are shown. |

All the 4-sync boxes I've stripped had 3.65s in them - but they were all late K / Early clubby boxes. Wasn't the 1100 van & saloon the "povo pack"? I imagine they would have got the 3.76? 3.65s are awesome in an 1100 S 
cheers, Jacob |
