According to Bentley, the transmission and final drive are combined 
in one housing (Pg 11 of volume 1).  One assumes your car has a 
rather narrow track.

I suppose, but they don't make it easy to find.  Page 11 mentioned 
above states that neither transmission or final drive lubricants need 
to be changed.  Further in, the manual states what to use in the 
transmission ("Gear Oil GL4 SAE 80 or G 50 SAE 75 W-90 (synthetic)"), 
but not the final drive (Volume 2, Pg 34-10-1).
