I've traditionally done the diff screw head on the left side (driver's side), but have since switched to the Right side (passenger side) regardless of transmission type (3 gear RM vs 3 gear MM and 4 gear MM). Kdub (Kurt Wenger, former AE designer) had this to say on the matter: I think I count as an authority on the matter. I always run my diff screw on the right side (when sitting "inside" the car). I take off the tire and pull the outer hinge pin to get to the adjustment screw.
The right rear is the way the AE manuals state (or used to state). It really shouldn't matter since you go around turns both left and right.

I looked through the parts compatibility list. and it looks like the bones will work from a b5m in the B6. Just wanted to make sure that if I held onto my mip pucks/ball diff that I could use it in the b6? Thanks. Will the bones work only or will the whole assembled axle work?

I have one question, imagine someone buy a B6d, and all necessary parts to convert it to laydow as an option to use when racing in high grip tracks. Will I need 2 bodys?. Maybe I am wrong, but if you cut your body to fit in a B6d trans, when you change to laydown trans it will not be covered by anything because the part of the body to cover the spur and pinnion has been already cutted.
This means we will need two bodys depending what trans we use.

It's already the case with B5M and 3/4 gear gearbox change

I found it funny because I thought I was the last guy still running 4 gear on the B5M.

Not exactly, in the B5M you can cut your body to use both trans with only 1 body, but in the B6D, if you cut it, when you install the laydown trans, the spur will not be protected by the body itself, so it will be outside the body and with no cover.

You're right; and then it's probably illegal...

They made a new part number for the b6 ball and gear diff.... But the gear diff parts sold separately all are compatible with the b5m...that's odd, furthermore the b6 ball diff out drives don't list as being compatible, but the cva axles and bones are compatible. A little bit of deduction based reasoning tells me that the b5m ball and gear diff will work perfect in the b6...can anyone prove me wrong?
