ya my lsd blew like nothing..havent beaten onthe car or given it full throttle in along time.. started grindin at about 15mph then got worse and the gears were slippin.. its seriously a piece of s*** and an expsensive fix
Mine will be sitting for quite some time as I have no money at the moment. My wife's old company screwed up her with holding and we owe the IRS $1200, plus we have to move next month and that will be another $2000+. I have $.37 to my name now too 
Can't even buy one of the new stamps until tomorrow...

Yeah...that sucks bad. I'm engaged and plan on heading to seminary within the next two years so the money my fiance and I are saving is going towards the wedding and my future tuition amongst other marriage related things. So I can't afford to drop a couple grand on a new LSD if mine blows and my factory warranty is up in one thousand miles. Do you know how much it would cost to get the LSD welded?

well i just got my estimate on my LSD..it was 599$ for the welded LSD off of ken and im lookin at around 600-800$ for labor.the big boy tranny shops like aamco and cottman wanted over a thousand! this LSD thing really sucks.. just ate up my rim and tire funds for this spring
2003 MSP, diff blew with about 28k miles, on 2-22-05. My car was driven hard, but never needlessly abused and i had an AWR front motor mount to limit wheel hop.
It broke in normal driving at about 25 mph right after a stop light in traffic.
I thought my clutch had been slipping for a week or 2 before, felt a shudder under hard accell, especially highway pulls while tuning my emanage.
Then after about 2 weeks it let go.
Sold everything, went back to stock, and mazda warrantied it. I got flamed for getting mine covered, which is one reason i havent been around.
2 other local MSPs have also suffered blown diffs. Both were modified.

That sucks fo shizzle. I just got my car back from the dealership the other dsay and I'm noticing a strange hesitation in the car when I let off the gas but it only happens when the car is a little cold. I feel uneasy about it but I figure if it was the tranny it wouldn't go away after the car warmed up a bit, but I don't know what's changed since I got it from the dealer. THey replaced the turbo and the amp and sub.
I think he's buying some else's welded diff for like 600+600 in labor 1200 total, I've never seen anybody break an open diff. It just transfers power to the wheel with less traction, so just mad wheel spin. BURNOUT, hope that answers everybody.srvntfhim said:
