There's a whole bundle of ratios, but 3.73 sounds right.

Also there's 3.45, 3.64, and 3.91 amongst others.

Any ratio could be an LSD, all early sports as far as I'm aware had 3.64 LSD's, all later facelifts wore a 3.91.

Yes, the tag will have "S" on it to indicate LSD.

If its shagged, you can rebuild it with the ford "atlas" clutch pack iirc-that gives you all you need (and a bit more.)

M3compact is the man to ask about rebuilding diffs-but i think the kit is Ԛ£120ish, so if you get it for Ԛ£70 and rebuild it, you have a KNOWN GOOD LSD for Ԛ£190 :cool: :D
