USA Sourcing 6AT Differential Rebuild Kit

[finnporter]

Hey guys,

I recently bought a Wavetrac LSD for the small case 188mm 3.46 ratio automatic transmission differential and noticed that FCP Euro doesn't have differential bearings and whatnot. Do you guys have any suggestions on where I can source a full rebuild kit that includes differential bearings?

Any help would be appreciated.

Update here, I sourced a differential rebuild kit for the 188mm case here: https://synchrotech-transmissions.com/ They're also partnered with M Factory so it adds a bit of brand value to them.

However, if you guys need to source individually you can potentially get the differential bearings through KOYO or FAG, then get everything else through FCP Euro. The con is that a % of the time you may need a custom shim to help with adjusting backlash (if it's needed). I had this experience with my previous car since I only ordered differential bearings, and it increased my downtime and costs since I had to wait for a separate shim kit. I didn't want to take that chance this time, so I ordered everything in one sitting through M Factory/Synchrotech. Another option is that you locally source a drivetrain specialist or a knowledgeable friend that can customize a shim for you if backlash adjustment is needed.

If any of the information needs to be corrected, please feel to do so since I'm not an expert haha. If it steers someone towards the right direction, that's all I can hope for.

Be aware, even though they partner with M Factory....they do NOT carry axles or driveshafts from M Factory.
