I just noticed that diffsonline sells clutch-type as well as helical and wavetrac. I emailed him to ask his opinion on all of them.


EDIT: Got this reply right away from dan. Not particularly informative (?)

Matt,

Wavetrac is the only street one that has a locking mechanism to prevent free wheeling when one tire has zero action. I have 10 more coming Monday so getting that done next week would not be an issue.

Other great option would be my 3 clutch setup. This is modified BMW carrier we machine in house to work in the e46 case. This means it drives as a BMW should.

Either carrier is a great solution. The Wavetrac is appealing to many as it requires less fluid changes.

Ratio wise a 3.38 works great for a street driven 5 or 6 speed 330. If Auto I would do a 3.64.

Hope that helps and looking forward to working with you.
