Again, as mentioned, ALL BMW LSD's are supplied as-is; none of them come with c-clips or shims. Infact, most Japanese, US or European LSD's are not supplied with c-clips or shims. That may be case with your AU Domestic Diffs, but certainly not the case with 90%+ of aftermarket LSD's on the market. The way you are posting, it's as if this is an MFactory-only problem, of which it is not. I understand that you are frustrated, but you are specifically targeting us with this problem and making it out as if we're the bad guy here, when all I am trying to do is help.
Yes, we admit that this can be a problem for "some" (not all, as a lot of places do know how to shim a diff), which is why we are going out of our way to fix this problem. If you are upset with the wait, then may I suggest you take it to a better mechanic?
If your current mechanic has all the experience that you say, then it should be no problem for them to machine down the oem c-clips and then fill the space with shims (which is what every BMW specialist has to do. How do you think we manage to install all these LSD's? It's not magic, it's common sense) to set the correct backlash. You don't need the oem BMW shims; if you have an experienced installer.
Anyway, good luck with our AU sales rep (who isn't on this forum BTW, so you'll have to email/call him). You can contact him when the shims are ready. I'll just hop on back to where I'm supposed to be i.e The US forums.
