You're right.� I think a made an assumption that the 27 arrived on the scene the same time the 44 shows up.

Man I hate when assumptions are made...especially by yours truly.

That said, Jersey may have a 41 or 44.

M38's have a 25 and a 44 which is why I questioned it in the first place. I'm not even really sure what the true difference is between a 25 and 27 is anyways. Axles are a little thicker on the 27 maybe? I know the differentials are not interchangeable but again I'm not really sure why.

I replaced the spider gears in my 25. Walck's sells this kit as interchangeable between the 25 and 27.  I wonder if the inner axle shafts are better, or the ring and pinion has changed on the 27.
 
There are so many other fun things I would rather do, but I guess it's time for a little axle research. :P
