Identifying Limited Slip

Recommended Posts

Spun one wheel with crowbar fixed to other axle the other wheel no slip. The 74' donor had, P205/55zr14. Yes, they were slicks. Without pulling the cap, could it be fixed? Would it spin with manual(me) power? It didn't.

Serial numbers are insignificant.

Don't use a crowbar. Just get someone on the other side, then try to

fight each other. Put it in neutral.

If you can, but maybe the diff gives up if you're tough guys, it's a limited slip.

If you can each turn it whicever way you want, it's not.

Thanks Toby,

Finally, pulled the cap. It's welded on each side. Nice welds, opposing. Question, were 74' thru 76' limited slip or an option? (Not too mention a 320 option).

74-76 were not limited slip. Welded diff on a street car sounds like fun. The welded diffs that we use in our Lemons car make for interesting tail happy turning.

You could always try to order a limited slip- but they weren't ever shipped that way unless you ordered them.

I ran a welded diff on the street ONCE just to make sure it worked before I

put it into the race car.

It was a handful.

Great on the track, not so hot on the street.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
