How it stacks inside the housing, top items to bottom right top to bottom left

Concerning the image showing all the parts and their order. I've noticed that the three smaller rings on either side are in a different order, depending on the side. I can't recall now which order mine were in (knowing you had a picture here I didn't bother) but now I'm starting to wonder.

Could you confirm that the picture is correct in this regard?

When the diff is sitting on your garage floor, how can you check to see if it is in good condition?

Also, what oil do you recommend for a LSD?

[The Dark Side of Will]

Both the ZF A-95 T-case used by BMW and the Borg-Warner 4472 T-case which I will be using have 35F/65R torque split with viscous couplings.

I'm open to playing with the rear diff. I have the E23 210mm housing that will bolt to the E30 subframe, and on your suggestion bought the E36 210mm "boomerang" mount bracket.

If you have both the e30 normal open/clutch lsd spider and the vlsd spider you can remove the non fittting to speed sensor vlsd spider and measure. I think this would be the best approach.

I have played with bmw oem torsens and clutch type diffs only, I go to aftermarket for anything else thats super specific on setting

M variable would be a good option for awd if one is installing a high power v8

Sent you some $ to ship the trigger wheel.

Why do you think the M-variable unit is best for V8 AWD?
That's a 210mm unit, right?

I need a 3.64 ratio, and was looking at snagging a '93 E32 750iL diff for both clutch LSD and 3.64 gearset.

Have you ever worked with the viscous coupling LSD used in the E30 325iX?

I trend away from viscous units as I prefer clutch type or mechanical lsd's

In the Subarus I've tuned the STI replacement LSD was always a gear type or clutch type unit. Factory viscous units always got removed and put on the shelf-
I also remove alot of gkn m-variable lsd units for built clutch type replacements for e46 m3's- the viscous unit dies quickly for track use cars.

The only modified viscous units I've seen is the local drifters fitting thicker preload springs to stock nissan vlsd units to make a ghetto 2 way type effect from extra amounts of preload.

What I was really asking was whether or not you could confirm that the journal on the VLSD where the VSS trigger wheel installs is a different diameter than the journal on the clutch LSD's.

To be absolutely clear, you believe that the part number 951 332 551 00 belongs to a 2.5mm disc?

Yes. This part number corresponds to a 2.5 mm friction disc. They basically lock the diff when installed. I installed two of them and the diff basically became a locked diff.

And to be absolutely clear, the stock disc is a 2.0mm disc, correct?

Yes. It is 2.0 mm.

E36 trigger wheel is just smaller diameter than e30/28

That's exactly what I'm dealing with... I had a 3.64 VLSD built for a 325iX with E36 rear cover. The E36 trigger wheel won't fit the VLSD unit (or so the builder tells me... I should disassemble and try it myself), so I have to trim the VLSD wheel. Being something of a machinist, I can't bring myself to "trim until it looks right"... I need a measurement! ;)

PM me your paypal info. It's easier for me to paypal you than send a shipping label.

LSD seems to be a popular subject these days;

I will try to answer things I know definate answers to in this thread.

There are 3 Era's of E30/36/34/32 188mm LSD:

This isn't specifically LSD related, but do you have the part number for the E36 VSS trigger wheel?
Can you confirm it is 33 13 1 210 755?
I'm putting an E36 rear cover on an E30 viscous LSD. I can't use the E36 wheel because the OD of the VLSD where the wheel installs is different than the OD of the clutch LSD where its wheel installs. I plan to trim the E30 VLSD wheel (and have bought spares as that PN is listed on RealOEM), but would like to have the E36 wheel to measure directly, but it's not listed on RealOEM.

Thanks!
