Thats it. The 228 has an open diff and the 229 has a viscous coupling.David "If all else fails, read the instructions."

Just clean the case out real good, get all the gray goop out of it.

I could have sworn that there was a slight difference in overall length between the 228 and 229 when I had them on a bench side by side. I seem to recall that the 228 was visibly shorter, maybe only 3/4". Direct swap, but minutely diferent. Was that in my head?Corey
