    Small clutch?? Well I guess that depends on the engine. Pretty sure the 4.2 engines are pretty similar across the 2 models.

    The main difference is the front diff.
    The gu has a 50mm wider track over the gq. But it's also much beefier in the cv knuckles and the cv's themselves.
    There was one diff which was different to the rest, and from memory that was the 4.8 petrol gu I think. Was a larger one. But unsure about strength.

    As for the ratios. Well they vary depending on engine, transmission and year.

    Yes the gu is heavier, but that's no big deal. Makes a nicer ride.
    I meant the clutch pack in the middle of the rear LSD, not the drive clutch. It's smaller in GU 4:3 one. The diffs are identical other than that, except the pinion flange.
    GU flange was slightly longer and beefier(if I recall correctly)

    Yes, the GU & GQ rear LSDs are identical from outside, but it's not inside(at least not the ones I got my hand on)

    By the looks of it, smaller clutch pack in the GU rear LSD means that, it(LSD clutch pack) might wear out quicker.

    I have some pictures of both LSDs. Have a look at the two pictures.

    Yes, GU is a more comfortable ride from what I've heard. I"m guessing they made some improvements to the suspension?
