3.23 Final Drive + Wavetrac LSD

Can anyone confirm if Richmond's 215 ring gear works with Wavetrac LSD for our cars? Both have 12 bolt pattern, right?

Good post. Any idea what the shift points will be with the 3.23's? I believe the current shift points on a stock E55 are:

1-2 - 45ish
2-3- 85ish
3-4 - 130ish
4-5 - ?

Thanks

I'm putting a 6 speed manual in the car so my ratios are different to the standard auto box.

How far long into this project are you? I can't imagine the conversion is very easy.

Thanks for the clarification. I also read your set-up in your signature. Impressive. Keep us posted and good luck.

Waiting for the flywheel to be finished. Then it's custom input shaft and bell housing time. Shorter prop shaft next.

Not impossible, just not cheap

The mechanical part will be easy. Should be interesting to see how you get the ECU to get along with the TCU unless you are doing a stand alone ECU.

Provisionally built T56. May go sequential as well.

Standalone ECU. Need it for controlling two throttle bodies too.
