I hoping someone has one laying around. I was on my way to work this morning and as I was leaving from a stop light I hear a loud clunking noise. I limped the car back to the house and get it up in the air to find out what is going on. As it turn out, my diff is shot, so, I am hoping that someone has a small case 3,45 open diff MT sitting around in their garage that they would like to get rid of. My 92 318i DD is sitting in the air till I get one.

Haven't done the stomp test yet, but I'm on vacation tomorrow and Friday, planning on working on the cars, this one has first priority. Will do the stomp test tomorrow morning and see what I get. No water around the plugs/wires/coils. Car stays in the garage at night. Yeah, I'm boggled.

Well, I have finally run into something that I am not able to track down and I'm looking to see if this has happened to anyone else. Car is 92 e36 318i, M42 engine, recently (last couple of weeks) the weather has started to get colder and now every morning when heading out to work this is what happens. As the engine hits between 2500-3000 rpm the car bogs down like it sputtering and not getting enough power, shift to 2nd and its good till it hits 2500-3000 rpm and it does it again. Shift into third and keep it below 2500 rpms for a about 3-4 miles till it warms up, than everything is fine and is normal again. Sucks having to short shift a putting down the road till it warms up. After its warm there are no problems. This was not happening when the weather was warmer. I am not sure what is happening with it, anybody have a clue?

I just did this today with a 1/2 impact gun. The one thing that I did before I started was lube it down with PB blaster for a day. I have a ingersol rand that put out 600lbs in reverse and 300 going forward. Had no problem getting it out  Has anyone seen a damper separate from a pulley, what ever the glue/bonding agent that was use to hold it in place decided not to hold anymore.
