Lsd Diff tag confusion???

[bmw-mad]

I have a LSD which Ive pulled of a breaker

It has a strange tag and ratio which doesn't make sense

Reads out 11 4 0a5046 s

Going from what the previous owner has said It's meant to be from a tech 1

I've not actually checked the turns manualy yet

Usually you would have something like 3.64S on the tag

Wondering if anyone else has had something similar

Diffs. that were supplied as replacements had the number of teeth on the pinion gear and on the crown wheel on the tag instead of the ratio. I.E.,to get the ratio, you had to divide the larger number by the smaller.
40/11 = 3.636. I don't know what the rest of the numbers mean, but the 's'on the enf is a good sign.

40/11 = 3.636.

So round that up to 3.64 and that's the correct ratio for a tech1 sport.

The other good sign is that it sounds like a factory replacement which means the mileage / health of it will be more attractive to what's on the clocks.

is it Titanic spec condition or all nice and healthy?

ALWAYS check the ratio ! Never solely trust the tag. A lot can happen in 25 years !

Sounds about right

That is very true, It actually looked clean but someone has painted it bright ORANGE

Usually that's what happens its just the tag was a new one for me and wanted it clarified
