So im getting my e30 lsd rebuilt and the guy tells me that my pinion gear's shaft is all scratched up and so i need new gears. Im heading to the junkyard now to see what I can find. What bmw models differentials have gears that can bolt up directly to an e30 medium case lsd unit?

Not sure if they will fit. Just make sure you use both the pinion and ring gears from the donor even if it's the same ratio as your original diff.

Originally posted by e30_3I8I View PostI agree with that being the easiest, I am in the process of getting mine rebuilt, just ran into an unexpected problem with the shaft of the pinon being scratched up which was caused when the lsd gave out on the freeway on my way to work one morning. Also, Why replace the clutch disc???
Yea, the guy I took it to specializes in all differentials and he also recommended using both pinion and ring gears, thats why i figured why not just change the gears out to a different ratio. Unfortunately I couldn't even find any of the ratios I was actually looking for...DAMN you junkyard people! lolsigpic
