Diff was installed successfully last night with the help of two friends, mostly supervising but insanely helpful in placing the pumpkin into place.
I think this diff is from a Z3M, but not 100% sure. The barcode on it was dirty and partially torn so I couldnt get the full part number from it. Definitely not an E30 diff though
a clutch type will turn the wheels in the same direction when lifted; torsen (the other type of LSD it could be if you're sure it isn't an e30 diff) will act like an open and rotate oppositepast:

It is possible to remove pre-load, making the LSD act open unless you engage the ramp under accel and/or decel.sigpic

Could anyone recommend a really good wheel repair & refinishing shop in the Bay Area?
My Euroweaves have some flat spots/bends and need to be refinished altogether.
Thanks!
