DIY: Medium Case Diff Rebuild (mye28.com)

[Panici]

Came across this great DIY on mye28.com. Lots of pictures included.
FYI Medium case E28 diff is the same as the E30 except for the cover and output shafts.

I've been meaning to build a 4 clutch medium case diff for a while. Car crash and moving back to east cost have delayed things, but here's my list of bookmarks. Some of the older threads have lost their photo hosing, but hopefully some of it helps someone.

I'll document my build when I get around to it.

Nice, thanks guys. I bought a diff with reported clutch failure, so at some point I'll look into it. I'd honestly rather send it off to someone because it seems intimidating. But no local shop will touch a bmw diff for some reason... so I gotta do it.

E30SPDFRK I think I recall that he has rebuilt some diffs in the past.

Yeah I can rebuild diffs, I've done a ton of BMW ones already. Stock rebuild, clutch upgrades, ramp changes, etc.
