It’s important to stress NON-CHLORINATED brake cleaner anytime you’ll be welding on something. One tiny whiff of vaporized chlorinated brake cleaner could send you into organ failure, permanent brain damage, or instant death.
@@martinauriemma2518 It's CHLORINATED brake CLEANER, not brake fluid mixed with chlorine. You use it to clean off oil and other stuff, then it all evaporates leaving dry and clean brake disks. To do this, the typical solvents used are chlorinated solvents like perchloro-ethylene (a.k.a. tetrachloroethylene) and methylene chloride.
@@martinauriemma2518 It does not have chlorine in the formula, it has chlorinated solvents. And yes, this is probably why California has banned it since the legislature there is also well known for their lack of chemical knowledge and chemophobia. The funny thing is that the solvents used in non-chlorinated brake cleaner are even more toxic, it mostly matters when welding since the chlorinated stuff can react and form chlorine gas when exposed to high heat when welding.
@@martinauriemma2518 I would say if you think it’s BS then try it yourself but I’m not heartless like that. There are plenty of documented experiences out there to look up. It’s no joke. One drop of it on a surface cleaned with it before welding is enough to change someone’s life forever. It may be less common these days but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of old cans laying around on a shelf in someone’s garage and that person is unaware of the danger it poses them if they aren’t careful.
@@martinauriemma2518 So, there are different ways a chemical element can be bonded to other elements or molecules. Pure chlorine just by itself with nothing else attached to it, can be a gas or liquid and it is VERY reactive. It oxidizes stuff aggressively. Think of how quickly bare iron rusts from oxygen in the air. Fluorine and chlorine are even more reactive because they are just 1 electron away from being "happy." They will rip it away from other stuff whenever possible. But, once you join chlorine to other stuff or ionize it by giving it another electron from something else, it's much happier. For example, when you eat table salt, you are eating sodium chloride. It's sodium and chlorine married together. When you make salt water, you get sodium atoms that have given up their outer electron and chlorine atoms that have stolen it. Na+ and Cl- ions. "Chlorinated brake cleaner" is what we call brake cleaner that contains Perchloroethylene (Perc), Methylene Chloride (MeCl), and Trichloroethylene (TCE). It's that last one that's of note here. When you heat it up to very high temperatures (like welding metal) and blast it with ultraviolet rays (which an electrical arc makes a lot of), the TCE molecule is ripped apart by the heat and UV. The TCE molecule breaks apart and you get 2 new molecules, one of which is phosgene gas and the other is hydrogen chloride. Phosgene is a chemical weapon that was used in war. 4 to 8 parts per million can kill a man. So, if there's a bit of chlorinated brake cleaner left on the metal and you strike that welding arc near it, the workpiece will give off these lethal gasses that will float right up into your welding mask and get inhaled. If you just use the brake cleaner as it's intended, the TCE and Perc and MeCl evaporate harmlessly into the air without the chlorine becoming detached. Since it's not detached, it's still happy and not reactive. The extreme heat and extreme UV light are what put a bunch of energy into the molecules of TCE and that energy is the brute force needed to break apart that happy molecule and form other things. Some chlorine-containong molecules are easier to break up than others. Sodium hypochlorite for example is plain old household bleach. Those molecules break up on their own and then that free chlorine is what oxidizes and attacks the bacteria and viruses and mold that actually kills them to clean your kitchen counters and bathroom and floors. When you burn something with fire, you basically oxidize it. So the bleach that you use to kill all those germs is essentially equivalent to "burning them" except with "chemical fire." Idk. Hopefully this helps. 🤷🏻♂️ The chlorine tablets that you put in a bottle with brake fluid is a different form of chlorinated molecule than the chlorinate brake cleaner which is why it's not dangerous.
if it has a motor for each wheel: when you apply electricity to a motor, the axle spins. when you spin the axle, the motor generates electricity. the alternator in your car, wind turbines and hydropower generators are pretty much just reverse-driven motors. both of the motors for the wheels are linked up electrically, but when you spin one of the motors clockwise (for example) it actually generates electricity in the polarity (it's not polarity because it is actually producing alternating current and thus doesn't really have polarity, I am referring to the cycling of the power that controls direction) that would drive itself anti-clockwise - so it drives the other motor anticlockwise then again, I might just be talking out of my ass Edit: or it has a differential - unlikely i think
Typically when you do this you'd want to cut a square piece of metal that touches all three of the spider gears and then weld it in place. It's a lot stronger than just welding the gears to eachother at the contact points, which means you're less likely to have the welds break and trash the whole carrier.
i came from an oval track racing class where we had to either have welded or spooled diffs to lock them. we never used a piece of steel or anything, but we did use stick to get a stronger weld. i could see a piece of steel helping though. i saw a few people have their welds break. mine never broke, but i did reweld it after 5 years or so because a crack developed. using mig, i bet her breaks sooner
A little tip, just welding a hardened gear is not going to last. But if you pre-heat the gear, your weld will have better penetration thus being a stronger weld
They're called "spider gears"... You guys should have heated the carrier unit with an oxy torch, get it full cherry red and THEN hit it with the mig welder. You get a much deeper penetration... And it should have got a lot more welding than what you have done- this one COULD possibly fail... Done a few over the years as a mechanic
Even if it were driven in the street, shouldn't be a problem. Oscar, your comment tells me 1 of 2 things, either you are a bad driver or you have no experience of what you speak. My guess is both 😂
@@SmoothBrain23 your comment tells me you’re an arrogant upstart with no education on cars, specifically with how gears within a differential work, however if your attempt at making yourself feel superior pleases the empty shell you call your life, continue on.
For the people wondering, a welded differential isn't the same as a limited slip differential (LSD). A little slip helps in most scenarios, including track driving. A welded diff is a locked diff, and is really only suited to drifting or rallying. LSD is the best way for most vehicles, especially powerful RWD cars. If you don't have a LSD on a powerful RWD car, you get too much wheelspin and it's not easy to put the power down effectively. Without any slip (locked diff) it's too easy to lose the back end and find yourself facing the wrong way, especially in the wet.
For anyone wishing to weld their diff use plates when welding it, simply welding the teeth leads to a very short lifespan and poor strength of the diff after welding it bc there’s nothing reinforcing the welds so too much stress can break said teeth and ruin your diff.
In my personal experience, I have had more diffs break when plated, which is why I didn’t plate this one. I’m referring to 350Z diff’s though so it could be different
Ok I know you used non-chlorinated brake clean and that’s good but you’re better off just not using it at all when welding. Use degreaser from a spray bottle or anything really then use acetone to get rid of the rest. It works just as well and won’t kill you if you accidentally use the wrong can lol
@@rolls_8798 brake clean is $3 a can... and if you cant read a warning label before cleaning and welding a diff you should probably just pay someone to do it
@@Robin-hi8oq lmao see how long it lasts though, guarantee finding a second hand diff for one of those to continually replace will add up more than a locker 😂😂😂😂
That's how I did it on my e36 personally I wouldn't weld my diff unless I plated it.. I did it on my 1500 02 Silverado as well and snapped a axle shaft
@@austinwerlein3631 you never use plates if your going to weld your diff atleast do it somewhat right. You weld the side gear to the hub. This is so you can still tear down the diff and if you break an axle shaft it can be removed and replaced. If you plate the diff the second one thing breaks the whole diff is going to the scrape yard and your starting over
Jeggs sells a locking diff kit that replaces the gears in the differential rather then welding a plate on, same effect just a lot better and probably won’t break down
@@madhouse5213 the flex in the gears will be forced upon the welds and solely the welding points with the plates it adds rigidity making the welding points retain or go through less stress. Less likely of blowing it up. And weight doesn’t matter that much as long both sides are the same size and thickness (weight)
Currently 14yrs at an Acura dealership and you can count on one hand how many days I wore pants. I'm sure coworkers would be confused if I showed up in pants.
I'm glad she said that she used NON-chlorinated brake cleaner before welding. If you used chlorinated brake cleaner before welding, if it hasn't dried fully somewhere in there, you could create phosgene gas (which is mustard gas from WWI.) by welding. One whiff could end things real quick for you.
Sometimes a welded diff is better if you’re using it for the sole purpose of drifting. There are positives and negatives to everything. Obviously I’m sure she knew she could simply do that.
Limited slip diffs are better for daily driving but they cost a lot. Welding it makes it skip and screech on sharp turns when parking BUT it’s a cheap way to start a drift setup
That was literally the best way i learned what was a welded diff. Thank you. No one is doing this honestly they just use the famous terms and dont explain much that is this easy.
When those welds break I'd look into getting a piece that goes between both gears and welded. Hard to explain but basically you sit it in between the cogs and it'll be much stronger.
that's called a brace. correctly done, it is just some thicker sheet metal or bar welded to further out teeth to add structure and rigidity to the already welded sections, usually a practice reserved for seriously high HP.
Real drifters run open diff..... as my shop class teacher with 3 missing fingers on his hand once said "if you can't develope skill with the least of essentials... your entitled"
WHAT? 😂 Hey, I've spent a couple of decades sliding cars around, of coarse it CAN be done with an open diff, but no where near as well. If you want to be able to drift properly around anything then your better off with a locker or at least a tight LSD
@@danielbrealey2924 Guy obviously doesnt know what hes talking about mate, just chuckle at idiocy and move on😁 “Real drifters run open diff” yeah, if you’re broke😬
@@TheChill001 if ur welding the diff its usually for consistency. Drifting with a welded diff is more consistent than any open diff or limited slip diff. No reason why people would weld it otherwise.
Please stop. The entire point of a welded diff is to take an open diff and give in the cheapest most effective way to lock.If you take a limited slip diff out to replace it with a welded diff you don’t know what your doing and you need to sell your car. The purpose of a welded diff isn’t to make both wheels spin so the outer wheels skips making it easier to lose traction. It’s to take a car that can’t or won’t spin both tires at all. Aka open differential cars to spin both tires so that both tires break traction and you can bring the back end out. Otherwise you have a one tire fire while you drive around the corner normally.
Reinforce it with metal plates/strips over the gears, connecting the axles. That will definitely break if driven hard, especially popping the clutch will snap that weld‼️

Make sure you buy a set of ring and pinion gears , also an install kit with new bearings and seals for when your welded diff breaks. Might as well pick up a new case too so after it cracks from the blown gears due to the welded diff you can replace the whole thing.
Quick tip with welded diffs. After laying fresh beads youre going to have some spatter inside the diff casing. Drive the car alittle to release this spatter and then drain and flush the diff out with deisel fuel. This will make sure its clean and deisel is oil based so it won't interfere with the new diff oil
Subscribing because of knowledge and production quality. I commend you for your humble approach and to the point instruction. None of this is anything I didn't know, but I really want you to get the subs and likes required to get noticed. Bravo Bravo!
One thing to consider - If you have a high horsepower car - welding the spider gears still limits you to the strength of the spider gears. On the drag strip, some slicks and you can shear a 12 bolt's spider gears. If possible, go buy a spool. Measure backlash. Install spool without gear and set pre-load. Install gear and adjust to original backlash. easy!
Stick a stack of several neodymium magnets to one side of the housing to keep metal fragments out of the gear lube. The bearings will last so much longer
It's an easy way to get power to both wheels, but it also forces both wheels to turn at the same speed which you really don't want. Just get a limited slip diff, you're in a shop you clearly have the resources and ability to either scavenge or buy one. It'll perform better, since it still allows each wheel to rotate at different speeds which you want when you're not actively slipping, aka anytime you're not drifting.
There are conversion differential locking kits for this if you go into an AutoZone and ask for a differential lock bolt they will offer you three different kinds typically you don't want to go for the high end because those have shattering pieces that will end up destroying the rest of the parts

WHAT? 😂 Hey, I've spent a couple of decades sliding cars around, of coarse it CAN be done with an open diff, but no where near as well. If you want to be able to drift properly around anything then your better off with a locker or at least a tight LSD
@@danielbrealey2924 Guy obviously doesnt know what hes talking about mate, just chuckle at idiocy and move on😁
“Real drifters run open diff” yeah, if you’re broke😬
Not sure if trolling or just stupid.
@@danielbrealey2924 problem is that it literally ONLY benefits drifting...
@@TheChill001 if ur welding the diff its usually for consistency. Drifting with a welded diff is more consistent than any open diff or limited slip diff. No reason why people would weld it otherwise.
Done this on my E46...still run great 🙂
had few e30, e36, all were fun and were my most favorite cars ever
Please stop. The entire point of a welded diff is to take an open diff and give in the cheapest most effective way to lock.If you take a limited slip diff out to replace it with a welded diff you don’t know what your doing and you need to sell your car. The purpose of a welded diff isn’t to make both wheels spin so the outer wheels skips making it easier to lose traction. It’s to take a car that can’t or won’t spin both tires at all. Aka open differential cars to spin both tires so that both tires break traction and you can bring the back end out. Otherwise you have a one tire fire while you drive around the corner normally.
Just because it's an LSD doesn't mean it will lock the wheels as required, especially when it comes to one in a 20+ year old car.
Reinforce it with metal plates/strips over the gears, connecting the axles. That will definitely break if driven hard, especially popping the clutch will snap that weld‼️
You are very talented, and very beautiful. Wish I could have someone as knowledgeable as you to help out with my repairs
I love a CIG locker. Best noise when you roll into a servo for a late night servo pie.
I saw people reverse engineering, but this girl reverses the history of engineering.
this is good info a lot of people out there need to know, whether their welding it or not. nice vid!
Lets be real now mate... There's not alot of people out there who need to know this at all. 90% of people on the road would struggle to change their headlight bulb.
🤔I wonder if that same comment would have been left if this wasnt a female uploading it... 😏
@@Dj.Ray.Von. i absolutely would of, and you don't have to know how to work on your vehicle to understand how it works. hater. thats why i said welding or not. have a good one... mate?
Your videos are very good and educational. I'm going to write some of these down for notes
Damn that was informational and cool! 🔥💯
Did you know that brake clean and welding creates phosgene gas. So be careful.
So this is what love feels like. 😂
This chick is badass
That weld job man uhh wow
I did this to a old 54 Chevy truck just to race a 56 Ford truck!
That 54 took off the line hard the Smile on my face! 😎
Note: welded differential adds more wear to your car and cornering flat fast is just forcing a drift
Forcing a drift is all these people want
But thats exactly the point 🤡🤡
Gotta love America. You eat chlorinated chicken, but you use non chlorinated brake cleaner🤣🤣🤣
I do appreciate what you do.
BMW cars are legendary with their prop transmission system !
Blocking the differential system will increase the understeer !
Have a good drift !
Now it won't pass inspection.
It doesn’t need to, strictly a track car
are the inspection folks opening the dif case where u live
Inspection for what lol?
@@dunderheadgood You don't need to open the case to tell if it's welded/locked or not.
@@unsafevelocities5687 i mean in my state they don’t drive ur car for an inspection i can’t imagine how else they’d be able to tell
She challenges my manlyhood by being better with cars then me and i feel conflicted by it.
Nice job 👏
Nice build
Make sure you buy a set of ring and pinion gears , also an install kit with new bearings and seals for when your welded diff breaks. Might as well pick up a new case too so after it cracks from the blown gears due to the welded diff you can replace the whole thing.

Tsym for explaining what a welded diff was 🙏
@user-bd3gf3ts7f 🤖
Damn, this is actually really knowledgeable thank you
Ahh you will have so much fun with the welded diff,
Did that to an '89 Mitsubishi Starion ESIR. Fun times.😊
I'd let this girl do whatever she wants to my corolla just to see her work on it😂
Great explanation.
Had no idea. Thank you
😢this is the best thing I've seen today
i love my diff-locker button ;)
Never seen a mechanic so clean interesting 🤣
Quick tip with welded diffs. After laying fresh beads youre going to have some spatter inside the diff casing. Drive the car alittle to release this spatter and then drain and flush the diff out with deisel fuel. This will make sure its clean and deisel is oil based so it won't interfere with the new diff oil
I'm in love 😍...great work 👍🏿
Great Video !!!
Lowkey help asf as an 18 year old mechanic that only works on breaks and engine pars
High key you got issues.
just put over sized shims in the diff. that locks them up and the hotter they get the more they expand and grip.
Whole lotta fun welding these! Wish I could make a living doing it! 😃
I love your E36❤
Subscribing because of knowledge and production quality. I commend you for your humble approach and to the point instruction. None of this is anything I didn't know, but I really want you to get the subs and likes required to get noticed. Bravo Bravo!
I remember taking a dump on the windshield of my BMW.
Every welded differential i ever used only lasted a matter of days. But it was a fun few days!
One thing to consider - If you have a high horsepower car - welding the spider gears still limits you to the strength of the spider gears. On the drag strip, some slicks and you can shear a 12 bolt's spider gears. If possible, go buy a spool.
Measure backlash.
Install spool without gear and set pre-load.
Install gear and adjust to original backlash.
easy!
She's beautiful 😘
Tech tip. Save your diff.
Just weld two spots on each side gear. It's still locked only now you can service broken parts.
I was just trying explain what a differential is to Lora yesterday , how convenient of you to pop up in my CZcams shorts. 😂🎉
Whoa 2 be fuckin serious as shit, id NEVER thought a woman would show me what a welded diff was !!! yo!!!! we in that shit now
Put a mini spool in, its exactly like a welded diff but you can take it out whenever u want to
Stick a stack of several neodymium magnets to one side of the housing to keep metal fragments out of the gear lube. The bearings will last so much longer
Very nice,, and the diff is nice to
Man, she’s so gorgeous
Ah this takes me back
Pro tip- always put a piece of plate between the spider gears, and weld it all the way around, it’s way stronger
It also makes it o LOT hotter when driving, would not recomend using a plate, but depends on what diff ur welding
@@xx_g3t_rekt__xx603 not trying to bash you or anything, but how? Just curious
Makes tire manufacturers rich.
The real You go girl!
Love to see more woman in the car scene 😁 Keep up the great work! 🙌🏻
Hell yeah engineering!!!
Amazing
Have fun turning.
It's an easy way to get power to both wheels, but it also forces both wheels to turn at the same speed which you really don't want. Just get a limited slip diff, you're in a shop you clearly have the resources and ability to either scavenge or buy one. It'll perform better, since it still allows each wheel to rotate at different speeds which you want when you're not actively slipping, aka anytime you're not drifting.
There are conversion differential locking kits for this if you go into an AutoZone and ask for a differential lock bolt they will offer you three different kinds typically you don't want to go for the high end because those have shattering pieces that will end up destroying the rest of the parts
Autozone....
I love that gen of bmw. I sold my e36 but definitely will get another.
Cute smile at the end
Gorgeous 😍
We used to do this to mustangs and off road trucks and everyone hated on us for it now it’s common thing to do
