Yeah, would be good to get some of these, my diff is still sitting in the corner of my office waiting for the dust to settle regarding these issues.

I suspect some diff builders are not as attentive to these details as others. I have heard of a bit of a backlash problem from some of the others & this issue must be what is causing the problem.

I think in a manual car you can change your driving style a bit to avoid the clunk but I suspect with the autos it is not nice.

Yep, setting the correct backlash, diff bearing clearances, pinion height and pinion bearing settings (if replacing the CWP) is crucial to reliability, long life + quiet and smooth operation.

Speak to your installer about these settings (& ask them the backlash dimension they are aiming for?) and if he looks at you blankly, go somewhere else!

Yes, we can supply them to everyone who has purchased our LSD previously if they still require them.

would anybody who bought bearings (any of them - carrier, big pinion, small pinion) for the 3.08 manual 335i/135i diff be kind enough to share with me the markings/serial numbers on the bearings? it would be very much appreciated.

thanks

Any update on this? You haven't replied to the enquiries on this thread since Christmas yet continue to update your US thread. That's pretty pathetic and unacceptable

This is because I'm not responsible for this thread (the initial poster is, along with our AU Distributor), so I do not keep an eye on this one unless someone points it out to me.

I'm the US sales rep, not AU.

To answer your question though, our sample batch should be ready this month, but we still need to test them to make sure they are ok.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Keep us in the loop and let us know when they're ready. I think quite a few will be interested

Curious, How did the test samples go?

Have they been tested for fitment and were modifications required or are they going to production? Any updates on this or a revised eta for when the production run will be ready?

The sample C-Clips and Shims are in the core and measure up fine.

Just doing some final measurements/calculations so we know what thickness to make for the "kit", and we can machine them up.

Will keep everyone updated!

If you need an LSD don't buy this one.

I think they're on schedule to finish up testing soon. Then they'll move on to the next stage for some more testing. If that is successful they can then move on to some more testing. Then by that stage they'll be ready for another good test, and then the final testing is complete for some more testing.

Also Scotty, was your lsd bolted or welded style? You have a 07'' correct? Large or small type diff housing?
