When I try hammering the pin in, the internal retaining clip keeps getting sheared off, with the shards going inside of the spider gears. I wrecked the stock one and my only replacement from my old diff. Seems the pin has a chamfer to expand the ring as you hammer it in, but mine has a small hard edge that keeps snagging on the ring. I think my pin must have been machined incorrectly, since the chamfer doesn't go all the way down to the shaft. Anyone else who is doing this, pay attention to make sure the same thing doesn't happen to you.
Hi everyone, after installing the lsd into the car i have two things to say! It is not suited for drifting at all however it transfers power to the other wheel where u need it most! Plus Since you are gonna break axles if you dump the clutch at 6000 rpm the lsd will somehow get you home low speed and in flat grounds! Trying to do a burnout is a struggle because it acts very weird!
Not sure if this is too late, but I also have a 2002 e39 (525i specifically), and it looks like it sticks out too much from the gear and would get in the way of the kit, so yes
Not at all. That is the point of the product. In normal driving it feels like an open diff but with possibility of strong lock under load. That is why we call it progressive.
There is a fella on here with 335i that fit this and the pin you supply snapped and ruin the diff have you since upgrade this pin for stronger cause seams a good job other then this cause I thinking of getting one thanks
@@giulioex125e7 positive. I read about that happening and made sure it was all good. After reaching out to them on eBay they refuse to send my money back claiming it was an install error when the pin sheared.
@RacingDiffs I'm trying to gather all the needed bits and pieces of knowledge to rebuild my 188k diff and I find your videos highly valuable, but there is one thing that's worrying me. Isn't the preload on carrier bearings long gone if the second c-clip can be inserted so easily? I would expect that to have around 0,5 - 1Nm of preload on tapered roller bearings, the axial force to be applied is in 10 kN(1000kg) ballpark, requiring hydraulic press to preload outer bearing races to make c-clip installation possible. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.
Not necessarily. We rebuilt many, many diffs with C clip type of preload adjustment and you always sort it with a hammer. You're right about the carrier preload though, 0.5-1 Nm. But if you are rebuilding diff, not swapping anything new, you shouldn't worry about that at all. Just return C clips in original positions and that's it. Bearings are made in 0.001 mm tolerance so when you change them, preload and backlash adjustment is not necessary.
@@RacingDiffs Thanks for the answer, I'm concerned about the preload since I'm rebuilding the diff with new carrier bearings and brand new torsen type lsd.
Alright thanks I’ll be looking forward to getting one of these kits once I can source a 3.46 ratio diff to go in my e39 530i. Manuals come with a 2.93...

@@RacingDiffs and one more question this process for the 188k type diff is the same as doing it on the 168k diff you still need to shave off 4mm on the output flang
@@RacingDiffs does the transmission need a tune or it runs the same ? Also I’m looking to order the kit because I want to be able to do burnouts and donuts would this kit work for that ?
Newer kits supposedly don't need the spider gears machined, however the axles still need to be shortened by 4mm. You can apparently do this with a grinder.
Hi there, i got a stupid question, is this 188k equal to 2 Ways LSD? Well, we are consider expert drifter for now, so which type suit the best, in your opinion? Thx, and Greeting from Malaysia.
This system can be categorised as 2-way LSD. But it is designed to be used on the street, not pro drifting. For that we have another solution. th-cam.com/video/069lcT-MF7U/w-d-xo.html
The way it works is when 1 tyre tries to spin faster than the other tyre the black block in the centre tries to turn. Because the pin goes through the block it causes the clutch faces to be pushed hard into the spider gears thus having a locking force that increases with tyre slip. That is how the ramp action works. I think these would work very well on track but I would be worried about the life of the clutch packs just like other friction/clutch pack LSD's. Considering it is a fairly easy job (I have heard that the ring gears for diffs in manual cars need to be cut off the centre though) to disassemble the diff it would just be another maintenance job.
Little suggestion, when customer receive a LSD conversion kit why not compressed, if I understand correctly it's not possible to install without compressing? :) Good job guys, congrats

👌
this kit doesnt look like it would hold for long
I've had it on my car for a couple months and beat on it pretty regularly. No issues from the lsd unit.
the man on this video does everything the opposite of the official recomendation video: th-cam.com/video/TLfNjcijk-k/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=RacingDiffsOfficial
Don't the spider gears need to be ground?
Not anymore.
Do you need to add LSD oil for this ?
Yes you do👍🏻
is it needed to short the flanges?
Yes.
@@RacingDiffs both of them?
Both, yes. For 4mm each.
@@RacingDiffs okay thanks for the fast answer
My pleasure!
I have a 2004 manual bmw z4 3.0i What set do i need? And do i also need to shorten the flanges?
You need 188L set. You need to shorten flanges. If you don't have access to lathe, you can do it with a hand grinder as well.
Which Kit you can use for E39 523i?
That would be 188K.
how much will the locker cost for 3.15 large case differential to build it like m5 39 has 3.15 but locked
Will be available early next year.👍🏻 price will go around 1300€
