The guy in Oregon never returned any of my calls. 
Side loader LSD
- Thread starter Eulean
- Start date
yep, sounds about right.
Which are you looking for?
Core or redone?

Any reason you guys don’t want to go to one of our resident professionals, eg VSR1?
Mario can redo to your desired ration and ramp angles and stands behind his work.
I assume the total cost to you is not that different than searching for 6months, buying a used one, installing it only to find it whines and leakswhen hot, pulling it for a rebuild and reinstalling.

Mario is a great guy and highly respect his work and that's an option certainly. In order to be in control of quality, we typically only outsource media blasting/dipping and machining and prefer to do mechanicals, metal fabrication, body/paint, assy in house.

Have you tried tracking down an LSD diff, albeit in a different ratio, and then the CW&P separately? Be aware of the different CW bolt configuration (8-off and 10-off, m10 and m12). There are also two gear types; Klingenberg and Gleason. It can be a minefield, i purchased about 12/13 open/lsd sideloader diff's to get all the LSD units/ratios i needed plus spares for my race cars. There are also 40% LSD's out there too. The earlier LSD unit had bolt-on output shafts with an extra bearing. The bearing can be accommodated on the later output shafts with a small amount of machining
Finding them (sideloader LSD and CW&P's) is getting very difficult here in the UK. Doesn't help that i have bought every one i have found (minus one 2800CS 40% that was stupid money) over the last 4-5 years! A few very corroded empty cases, but mainly open diffs and 3.07 CW&P's i struggled to give away so most ended up being scrapped.
All of the bearings and seals are readily available (SKF etc). The cover seals went out of stock at BMW for a short time but are back (i've just this week bought a number of them). Plates for altering lock-up are easy to source (all of mine are 75%).

Sorry, don't want to cough it up unless I had a 3.64 to replace it with.
Rob - Any chance you'll reconsider a 3.64 LSD? Just located one.
Are you selling this?
Got any pictures?
Rob - I'll pull some pics together for you - sent a request to the current owner. Thanks.

Interesting info frogisland, would like to get some more info from you when I get round to rebuilding my diff.
JP - Nice detail, thank you. Definitely still ramping up on the E9 and related series and their idiosynchronicities. Likely hitting you up with questions in the near future!
