e30ftw 396 Report post Posted January 21, 2013 Not sure about pitch but I've done the swap before on a 3.64 open case medium diff in an e30, just pulled the center out, bolted the big ring gear onto the LSD center and put it straight back in with some new LSD diff oil. Never had any issues with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would recommend Diff Specs in Drury to sort it for you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
