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.

Quick question, can a gear diff be put into a B6D if one wanted to?

Yes you can use the B5M gear diff by adding 91605 shims in the gearbox or buy a B6 gear diff which is basically a diff + the needed shims

They use bladders so there is no air gap. At least that's how Gord Tessman builds them according to his youtube video. I suspect Tanner's setup is the same also.

Can anyone running a B6 gear diff comment on its ability to hold oil? I had one in my SC10 and within a few race days all the black grease would have worked its way out. I had one in my B5 and it leaked. I bought the aluminum cap and it was better, but still not great.
