By "plate", he means "Ring Gear"

I want in on a small AT bolted dif for 08 AT car

Chefcg1 · 04-22-2014, 12:55 PM

okay I have a question regarding the installation of the lSD. I was told by a local shop that I needed a specialty tool that costs $1100 to do the install & that not just any shop can do it because they don't have this special tool. Is this correct? where are you guys calling to get installation quotes?

I was quoted $400 for install, new seals and fluid.

They might be referring to the $600 diff tool. You can make your own out of plate or buy 1 like the AR design tool. I can't think of any other expensive tools needed other than a dial indicator and a torque wrench which don't cost $1100. Maybe try another shop.

450$ here in canada with 2 seals and fluid

Chefcg1 · 04-23-2014, 09:28 AM

I Found an installer for $300-$350

What fluid is recommended? and is it a direct fit or does the case need alteration like I have heard with quaif installs?

Do the ring gear bolts need replacing and if so part #? axle seal part #?

The group buy is for the LSD only; not the entire pumpkin. After receiving the LSD, you will still need to find someone to install it for you.

Please put me in the Group buy for the small bolted one. Please and thank you.

what he said...I may have found a guy to do this but I don't know what parts to have ready and if that special tool is needed.

Chefcg1 · 05-06-2014, 09:48 AM

well my installer fell through after he figured out what was all involved, but I got Eurowise in Charlotte to do it for $550, scheduled for June 2nd installation.

JStang · 05-06-2014, 10:12 AM

These install prices are great news. I was expecting around $1k for install.

iturbo_bmw · 05-06-2014, 12:58 PM

wait wtf am i reading this correctly?? install less than $500?? shiet this might end up being my next mod

JStang · 05-06-2014, 01:02 PM

My guess is the bolted Diff is easier / cheaper than the welded.

Just saw this. I haven't gotten a quote yet but he said he can definitely do it.

LMB335IS · 05-21-2014, 09:24 PM

Good to know. I think this is going to be the next mod. Too much HP, not enough traction.

Chefcg1 · 06-03-2014, 08:40 AM

Well once again install fell through, still on the hunt for an installer in nc that will do it for under 1k.

I just got quoted $475 + seals and fluid for install from Unitrax.

Thats $1350 installed for an LSD.

Mind blown.

Thanks for posting this. I was going to call Unitrax this week.

Chefcg1 · 06-23-2014, 02:07 PM

Selling my diff(AT small) if anyone is interested. I had stuff pop up and don't have the funds to install. Pm me and make offer.

My total was $592. That covered the labor, seals, fluid, tax & fees. Work was done at Unitrax in Anaheim, CA.

ts335i07 · 06-26-2014, 03:23 PM

420$ including parts installed pm me for details (In jersey shore area)

Jeef · 06-26-2014, 04:29 PM

I assume everyone is talking about getting the whole unit installed? Not the diff into the housing, correct?
