Description
Holden Salisbury 3.55 Ring and Pinion (10 Bolt)
This Holden Salisbury 3.55 Ring and Pinion is a brand new replacement gear set. Specifically, it’s built for the Holden Salisbury 10-bolt differential, which Holden fitted to models from the original 48-215 through to the VL Commodore, produced between 1948 and 1988. Overall, it’s a direct way to restore a worn or noisy Salisbury diff without hunting down good secondhand gears.
Specifications
- Ratio: 3.55
- Differential: Holden Salisbury 10 Bolt
- Available Ratio Range (across production): 2.60 to 4.44
- Spline Options: Coarse spline, 28-spline, and 31-spline (depending on model/year)
- Bolt Patterns: 5×4.25 inch (early Holden Standard/Special), 5×4.75 inch (HQ-WB, Statesman), 5×120 (VB-VL Commodore)
In particular, Holden offered ratios spanning 2.60 through to 4.44 across the diff’s production life. So, confirm your axle’s spline count and bolt pattern before ordering, since Holden used several combinations depending on model and year.
Salisbury 3.55 Ring and Pinion Fitment
This set suits Holden Salisbury 10-bolt differentials fitted across a wide range of models. That includes the Kingswood, Monaro, Torana, Statesman, and Commodore, right up to 1988 when Holden switched to the BorgWarner BW78 8-bolt diff. In particular, the 3.55 ratio suits vehicles wanting stronger acceleration off the line, at some cost to highway cruising efficiency. So, confirm your exact diff specifications before ordering, since Holden used several spline and bolt pattern combinations across four decades of production.
Why This Ring and Pinion
A correctly matched ring and pinion set restores quiet, reliable operation to a worn Salisbury diff. Since Holden used many spline and bolt pattern variations over the Salisbury’s long production run, getting the right match matters more than with most other diffs. We’re happy to help you confirm your exact housing before you commit to a purchase.

★★★★★ Sorted the clunk
Dave P · Nelson · Example review Rang the team first to check it was the right one for my rego. It was. Fitted by my local mechanic, no more clunk on take off.
★★★★★ Quiet as new, swapped it over in an afternoon
Mark T · Timaru · Example review Had the classic whine at 80. Diff turned up next morning, swapped it over myself with the fitting guide, return label was in the box. Three weeks on and dead quiet. Core charge came back inside a week.
Reply from the Gearhead Diffs teamCheers Mark, glad the guide did the job. Thanks for getting the core back quick.
