The v6 and the 4 cyl diff's will fit , but the v6 one have 4 spider gears and the 4 cyl one's have 2 spiders. If you change the 3rd member comp it will fit.

i think you mean pinion as opposed to spider.

page sa 134 (first page)
depending on whether or not the diff is a 4 cyl or v6, the parts are named in the boxes marked 4 pinion type and 2 pinion type.
i will be more thorough on my research and answers from now on.

Not to poke holes in a discussion but there is only one pinion gear per differential. The pinion drives the ring, the spider gears (however many there are) are housed within the differential which is in turn surrounded by the ring gear.
I hope that didn't sound all snotty.
Well crap. After looking at your edited post and reading through the link I think we can all safely say that I have no idea what in the hell I'm talking about. I always called those little internal gears "spider gears", the one running the ring a "pinion gear" and thos little pins in there the "cross pins".

Yes. The rear v6 diff is stronger then the 4cyl. You probibly won't ever break a diff running a stock motor, but if you went to say a v8 you would want to stick with the v6 stuff.

hey junker!
i was always under the impression the single and + bars were refered to as the pinions. i went back and took a look at the fsm, seems even toyota cant make up their mind on what to call them! no worries as we both got the information out there, in a round about way at that.

It should all bolt in correctly. I have heard of some people saying you need to get a different flange so you can bolt it up to the driveshaft but Im not really sure about that.
