LSD Clutch Plates

[Montius]

I have got a 3.45 lsd from a clubsport ti, and it is in need of some repair. I have been able to find most of the bearings and seals with some local suppliers, however i cant find the clutch plates for the limited slip. I have found the plates for the 188 size (6 cyl diffs) but cant find any for the 168 (4 cyl diff). Thanks in advance

Maybe this might help...? This is the site I was sent to for Diff repair etc... www.diffsonline.com
If I find more I'll let you know.

Thanks, but I already found them, and the lsd is rebuilt and in the car. I got them from Koala Motorsports. The shipping was fast, and the price was right. The rebuild was also very simple, and fairly cheap too. Thanks anyways.

Cris- since Brett Anderson at Koala is my mech, how much did the rebuild kit cost?

Hey Phil, I just bought the frictions discs from him, which were about $225 I think, the bearings and races I got from Canadian Bearing (after market, but the exact bearings that bmw uses) for about $35cdn, the seals I got OEM, for about $50 think. I ended up just switching the lsd hub into my open diff because the teeth on the pinnion gear were chipped pretty bad, and I didnt want to mess with setting up the pinnion depth (according to Koala, thats really the only hard part). Only took an hour or two to get everything setup, and I never had to remove the old diff from the car. The diff works great now, no chatter, and grabs perfect. I have probably put 4000k on in since the rebuild with no problems, and a bunch of auto-x days. So much more fun in the corners than the open diff, and faster too!! :smile:

If you need any more info, just let me know!! I was going to write a how to, with some pics, but I got a little excited when the discs came in and forgot the camera at home. I still have the internals from the open diff if anyone needs them.
