Took all day :( but it's done.




I had to swap diff covers (had an E28 diff cover and axle stubs on it) and the VSS from my old diff was cracked so I used the new one.



Victory!


I'm getting some constant diff whine, even though I put 2 quarts of Mobil 1 in it... lockup is good though.

Not sure why but this picture made me think there should be a body outline like a murder scene with all the fluids on the pavement:(...

Yeah I feel bad but I had to swap diff covers and it was done at like 11pm with just a flashlight. I got everything I could in the drain pan, lifting up the diff and tilting it etc to get everything out. By the time I noticed fluid on the ground it was pretty much already what you see there. :(

With the torque that those top bolts were applied I needed room to see and to use a cheater bar. Took me like 3 hours to get the top bolts off including trips to the hardware store for a 19mm wrench and cheater bar. Then the driveshaft nuts were a whole different story...

I finished at ~2AM with no lights either (crappy flashlight, I have work lights but they're at a different house). I want to do an engine swap on the street some day. :D

;) I've been torturing the car for the past day or so, I've left plenty of my tires behind.

The most enjoyable part for me though is being able to rocket around a turn at WOT in first or second gear without roasting the inside... definitely fun to slide around though and there are plenty of marks to prove it. :D

Really? That's a lot, my 4.10 LSD only took about 1.25 qts. Did you fill it until it was up to the bottom of the fill hole, while sitting as it would on the car?

His looks like a medium case.

Done, done, and done. All my BMW's I've done this method. lol

Hell, I put my euro bumpers on in my condo's parking garage space. :D
