Shorter Final Drive and LSD Modification C63 H215

hey guys

for those who are interested in a shorter final drive (the stock ratio of i=2.82 is quite looooooong) here are a few pics and infos about changing the gears to i=3.55 and also a lsd rebuild was done with new clutches and a new 2-way locking setup (oe is 1-way... locks only on power, not on coast).

new gearset on the left, old on the right side.




new gearset with measurement bridge and setup rings to adjust pinion depth and ringgear position/backlash.




LSD Case with all internals, new clutches and new 2-way pressure plates.





parts ready to be installed in pumpkin

everything installed and adjusted. tooth pattern looks perfect.




more pics and some words (in german, maybe google translator can help) you can find here:

no one as it is combined with a sequential 6-speed racing gearbox, not the stock speedshift unit.
