    what do you guys think of this LSD?

    Would this fit an early ETA m20 trans?


    Freshly rebuilt 4.10 LSD (limited-slip differential). Factory LSD unit with newly added larger clutch discs for more lock-up (three discs total, factory comes with two). New bearings and seals. Used for one track weekend in E30 race car at Infineon. Diff is in great condition.

    Asking $350 (Note: does NOT come with cover)

    trans doesn't matter

      Yes it would work fine on that tranny. Do you know who did the rebuild?

            He means the rear cover. It's an M Coupe cover. You can swap yours on to it.

            A 4.10 diff is going to be ridiculous with an Eta though. I'd reccomend a 3.25 LSD.

              If it's set up aggressively it won't want to "slip" much under normal driving which will make for understeer transitioning quickly to oversteer plus extra tire wear. No worries on track but perhaps not ideal for street use.

                Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

                  Yeh for an ETA you'd want to go with a 3.25LSD or 3.46LSD highest.

                  I was looking for one awhile ago, ZMBluedevil (I think thats his name) from GutenParts had a very nice one for $350. You'd be better off buying that one.
