Quattro generations (was: Miata Torsen)

[Peter Berrevoets]

Beg to differ in this instance Ti but this is the rear diff I'm referring to
here. If you would refer to that section in the Bentley, you would see the
diagrams and the heading "Rear Final Drive Pinion Assembly"

Doesn't get any more specific.
