Hey guys, my front diff blew up on me last summer and I’ve been trying to find a replacement all winter without any luck at all. Does anyone have a source for a new manual (3.91) diff or know where I can get the parts to repair mine?

I have one I might be willing to sell. I bought used off these forums about 2 years ago thinking I had a bad front diff, which turned out not to be the case. PM me to discuss.89 325ix coupe Diamondschwartz

What does "blew up" mean? Yours isn't rebuildable?Comment

I blew the spider gears out of the bottom cover out of my front diff. Sure, I guess it's rebuildable. But where I am going to find replacement spider gears and a diff cover? It's just easier to get another diff.
I sent mine to nando and now it's a mock up piece. Good use for it I think.AWD > RWDComment

Yeah you basically can't get any of the parts so rebuilding it seems far fetched.Comment

Do they still make the seals and stuff for the front differential or no?Originally posted by nando View PostComment

Maybe, I haven't looked in a while. But you if you can't get any of the bearings, gears and shims I don't know what good new seals will do.Comment

Bearings, seals and shims are standard pieces... spider gears and carriers not so much.Comment

I was asking about the seals for anyone else who may be searching for an answer to their problems. I know it looks like mine could use new sealsComment
