Member Posts: 307 Group: Members Member #3,610 Joined: December 10, 2008	Hi, I have a LSD from a 202 C Class. Its a 3.07 from a 97 C36. Does anybody know for sure if the Crown Wheel and Pinion are interchangable with the 190's-201 series please ? The 1.8 petrol and 2.5D 190 runs a 3.64 CW/p as does the 1.8 C Class auto, but looking at the diff bolt pattern internals, it looks as if the 190 series will fit also, as well as the 124 series. Can anybody please confirm ? Many thanks, The Gorilla.

RennTech and AMG always use a 210mm LSD, which are good for 500/550 BHP. If the 190 1.8-2.5 D 3.64 CW/p does not fit the C36 LSD, then I am sure that a 124 3.69 CW/p from a 220 will. Regards, The Gorilla.

I will have the diff ramp angles altered and re-hardened, and see if the 'Ford' twin clutch packs from the Atlas axle fit as they do on an E30 BMW Diff. Will set it at 50% and see how it goes from there. The LSD from the C36 is 185mm gearset so it is compatible with the 190/201 CW/p. Makes many diff ratios available for a C36 slipper. Nice thing about the C36 LSD is that its a true LSD no ASD at under 19mph and all the baggage that goes with it. Regards, The Gorilla.
