[MSP_4_CODY]

yup thats right, i was goin down the street and i gunned it around a corner and pop.... guess the mig welds werent strong enough, gonna get it tig welded now

[CitizenPro]

Ouch! Sorry to hear, goodluck fixing her up.

[kamon8404]

I dont think that you should reweld an already broken lsd ... tig is definitely the way to go.

[mazdaspeedwerx]

wow that sux

[MSP_4_CODY]

thanks guys, yeah if it goes again, i dont know what to do cause i cant afford a new lsd and im not puttin in an open diff,

well next time you should know how to treat a car :Pgood luck next time.

[MSP_4_CODY]

i do know how to treat a car... i drive it... hard lol. hopefully ill have it back by the end of the week...

[1moreMPH]

that did not last long. didn't you post up less than a week ago about you tearing it out and "super welding it" haha. sorry i don't mean to come off as an asshole. damn..

[MSP_4_CODY]

yeah.... i know... i thought it was super welded, guess looks dont matter its strength.. well... just gotta learn from it and do it right!!, and ill be really good at takin out the trans lol. you can be an ass hole all you want i dont take it personally, constructive criticism

[1moreMPH]

im just jealous that you can dig in to the tranny like that -- i would not be able to do that to save my life haha. i also wish i had a welder, and were a lot better at it than i am :/. good luck on the second go 'round. how'd you manage to tear it up in a week though seriously??

[DH Motorsports]

Sad part is, by the time everything is done again... you might have been closer to getting a QUAIFE.

[1moreMPH]

those are so expensive.. ick.

haha its really not that hard at all, theres agreat write up on here somewhere that helped me tons!!, and im a mechanic so i just got it towed to work and had all my recorses there, but im sure you could do it! if you do decide to dig into it and you run into any problem pm me and i got your back lol.

i dont know how i managed that lol, just went around a corner with it on the floor and when the tires finally caught at the end of second the diff diddnt like it... finally got it towed to work tonight gonna get it all apart tomorrow,


and i definetly wouldnt be close to a quaif sp? cause its all free for me cause i do all the labor!... maybe that the problem lol. i wish i could afford that though!!

[MSP_4_CODY]

the how to if from TurfBurn, my comp wont let me copy and paste a link cause its a piece lol, but yea he did it and its awesome!

[orng1]

Quaife is the way to go. It's still hurting me from when I purchased it but I have peace of mind that it will never break again. I also sent out the gears to get cryo'ed while I waited for it to come in so I should be good on the trans side of things.

(cabpatch) I love mine... and every blown lsd thread I see makes it worth it.

[MSP_4_CODY]

wow. yeah id love to get one but im only 19 and im poor lol.

but on the lighter side, i got the trans and diff out today after work, should be welded up tomorrow and back in thursday!!! wish me luck!

[JDM Sam]

Don't keep rewelding that broken lsd back up. It won't hold.

[ForceFed]

Don't keep rewelding that broken lsd back up. It won't hold.Ths is exactly what I was thinking. The metal will just continue to fatigue and get stressed won't it?
Next time it breaks,it might be into pieces and do damage internally to the tranny.
Might be time to bite the bullet and get at least a replacement MSP one.

[ItsSlow]

Before you put it all back together can you measure diameter on the axle @ the spline.. That would be AWESOME if you could..

[Prodigy]

wow. yeah id love to get one but im only 19 and im poor lol.

Being 19 isn't an excuse... I just turned 19. (2thumbs)

[MSP_4_CODY]

[ItsSlow]

AWESOME! Thank you!
