YJ dana 30's are high pinion with reverse rotation gears, any '98 dana 30 will be low pinion with standard rotaion gears.
This is not good news....I'm seriously considering buying Dave's(Brokenaxle) 98 XJ. His front D30 still has to be regeared, and of course I thought I had the right ones. Guess not. What's a new set plus install, gonna cost me in Calgary?
Well, if you get it done at a shop...count on a G note. I thought he had the gears???
230k highway kms. rear diff was just rebuit/regeared. front diff is going to be rebuilt/regeared soon.
I guess Dave never got around to it. I was planning on using the 4.10's I had, but they're no good to me for the 98. CRAP. Know anyone in town that can install, that won't charge me $90/hr plus?
