E46 DIY LSD (EASY) blackline LSD

[@JDsGarage]

Hey guys this is part 2? Where I Test out the Blackline Diff in my E46! Thanks for watching kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpjXnpuDnbGrjck

[@247E39]

Finally a solution for my open diff never drift B30? Unbeatable price, hope installing is easy

[@407_ryan8]

The guide is in the e46 handbook which would tell you the tolerances for back lash and would tell you to shim the diff properly and how to measure it, I bet that diff is quite loud

[@JDsGarage]

Diff is going perfectly so far but yeah better someone knows what they’re at tbf 👍

[@lorenzowashington5233]

you only have to worry about that if your changing the gear ring and pinion too

[@JorisV1983]

[@bobafittness1346]

How has it held up and where you bought this from?

[@Hardstylers4Life661]

Howd you remove the diff carrier bearings without harming them? I had to get new bearings for mine and they actually ended up not being the proper cone width.

[@JDsGarage]

Started with small screw driver and hammer then when it started moving ( work your way around ) started using a chisel and eventually it’ll just come off

[@Hardstylers4Life661]

@@JDsGarage gotcha. The cars still up on jackstands. These new bearings didnt cut it for some reason but thanks for the insight mate

[@shaneprendergast86]

Whats it like for taking off sideways and just a bit of general messing? thinking of buying one for an opel manta, just wanna make sure it drives alright when not messing aswell?

[@JDsGarage]

Just uploaded video testing it… works great

[@Iakovjp]

Hi i have the same diff ready to install and I'm wondering how did you reinstall the bearings on the new diff? Thanks!

[@JDsGarage]

Lined them up and used a peace of timber and tapped them on with a mallet but only small taps

[@leemurphy5253]

Would you recommend this kit I'm very tempted to order one now for my e46 heard mixed reviews 🤔

[@JDsGarage]

Works fine, not gona be a welded but for a road car it’s totally fine

[@leemurphy5253]

@JDs Garage it locks both ways no problems yea I just want my car legal because its to much hassle eith mot ext

[@TheDoctor46vr]

Someone who installed the blackline diff in a RenaultSport they said that it deccelerates a lot more aggressively. I was wondering if you've experienced the same? Also have you noticed any changes in fuel economy since you put in the diff?

[@joemuppettaylor9590]

How long have you had it fitted now? Is it still strong?

[@JDsGarage]

Yeah still mint still locks up both

[@Fionn_ocs]

Class video, tempting me to try an lsd swap myself. How much did you pay for import duty and other costs on top of the £466?

[@JDsGarage]

It was 150 euro for the import charges wasn’t too bad at all

[@Fionn_ocs]

@@JDsGarage Jesus I was expecting much worse.. thank you 👌

[@mtsyo8165]

@@Fionn_ocs Got mine at 800 euros box in the hand. Should of just contacted local diff masters...

[@petercawthorne5997]

Does this suit a manual transmission set up…… website suggested for auto transmission. I believe the ratios are different of the diff for manual and auto

[@JDsGarage]

Will be different ratios but once it fits the same casing you’ll be fine message them On Facebook they will help you out, with your vin number you can find the diff casing size 👍

[@stilldomi]

What was the main difference between the subframe bushings? And why are the strong flex bushings better? I'm trying to source some bushings for my e46 but there are soo many options.

[@JDsGarage]

The floflex they work like but the fitment was just miserable and then the front 2 forward facings bushings for the subframe on the flow flex they rest on the head of the stud if you're familiar with the e46 subframe / floor so the wheels bushing is resting on the size of a 19mm bolt head, with the Strongflex bushings there are indented which allows this part of the stud to sit into, thus the subframe bushing rests on a much higher surface area and not putting so much stress on these studs I can send you pictures on instagram

[@JDsGarage]

Strongflex diff bushings work so much better too

[@mistawhipe]

Probably a stupid question but do you keep your final drive or does this change it?

[@JDsGarage]

Yeah you keep whatever final drive you already had not a stupid questions man don’t worry 👍

[@mistawhipe]

@@JDsGarage Thanks for the response, I might do this mod in the near future to my 330 with the 3.64 diff

[@kwaki82]

About the bushings you are not a fan of... Didnt understand which make are they. And can you elaborate what exactly is wrong with them, cause saying they work but not a fan doesnt go a long way:)

I recently bought a subframe with the floflex bushes, recon I can just dremel out a bit for the head of the stud to sit into ? Lol

It’s a torsen diff. Google how they work, quite interesting actually

After first 500 miles

[@JacobTheGunNut]

Ah I was very concerned lol

[@henrik1743]

516 pounds for that feels really cheap, most diffs I see go for 1k+, I've seen one at around 750-800

Works great tho 💪
