Classification on the Rear Final Drive

Final drive 0BC - arrow 1 - and 0AR






Code and build date - arrow 2 -

Final Drive 0BC - arrow - and 0AR






"0AR" is always on the rear final drive housing. The changes to the housing are what differentiate the "0BC" final drive from the "0AR" final drive.

The locations of the threaded holes - arrows - for attaching the crossmember to the rear final drive are also different.






The "0BC" final drive has 4 threaded holes - arrows - in its housing, used for attaching the crossmember. In addition to this, there is an additional threaded hole under the flange/driveshaft used for attaching the final drive to the subframe.

Rear Final Drive Code and Date of Manufacture











The other data is not needed.

When replacing a rear final drive, always pay close attention to the code, the PR number and the engine code. This is the only way to make sure the allocation is correct.
