I recognize I need two sets of gears or two diffs. Any feasibility in changing out the ring and pinion from a 4 matic (3.07 or 3.27)? I am trying to find if the ring and pinion from other cars can physically be used (say W124 or W126). Other than shims and seals, what other parts would I need if I can find the right ring and pinion to fit? Or are you saying that it can't be done because the only parts available are seals and there are other parts necessary?
If an ML diff blows up, MB makes you buy a brand new diff? Hard to believe, but not unheard of. If so, sounds like Getrag and there stance on the E39 M5 transmission; no repair parts currently available from Getrag. Thanks for the response.
Regards,
Jerry
