I'm still a little hazy on the E30 half shafts. Do they work or not on the Ti with a 3.73 E30 LSD? I pickep up a getrag transmission and swap kit locally and I still need the drive shaft, diff and half shafts. I need some advice on what gears I should get and what drive shaft will work for the Diff/tranny combo. I know of the thread on BFC but that thread is too busy discussing what the best way is to get your cruise control to work.

E30 shafts work perfect. Not.a problem at all.

and for driveshaft you should use a manual ti one. Not sure if other e36 shafts are the same or not but I ran stock driveshaft and an e30 diff and half shafts on my last ti.

ok that clears up what 3 or 4 multiple page threads I have read in the last 2 days didnt. also, one more question. if I use a manual DME when I do my swap, will I get any transmission related codes? I read the thread on BFC about it and no clear answer.

^yeah but...E30 parts are beefier so it's a no brainer. No brains if you use stock ti shafts/hubs and intend to add power

I run more than 200HP at wheels with 13psi of boost with 19" X9 wheels with out probles for 3 years ago.I think oemparts are more that good for power.

since power is not going to be a concern to me I can stay with the Ti parts but what about using the axle flanges? I may have to get those from a ti huh. so its either get the E30 shafts and diff (including flanges) or the stock shafts and ti flanges on a E30 diff. this crap is freaking confusing.

Nah..you got it right. How many miles on your ti axels? Of course you could run them. If your not a lead foot or dropping the clutch you should be perfectly alright. If they do break you could easily pick up the E30 set up for cheep to fix it.

Myself I'm about to throw my LSD in and I opted for the E30 axel/hub route 'cause I know more power is my future. You say power is not your concern....sure it isn't lol. Give it some time and maybe a few imports blowin' past you on the freeway and you'll be begging for those ponies hehe

Simple
