thanks for confirming my fears =( i don't know what i wanna do. i've grown attached to this diff because, well, it's a rare piece, but do i wanna pay hundreds more? or wait to get another LSD and possibly spend less, then be left with a MSM diff needing to get rebuilt? so depressing.

Is it a Torsen or a Fuji?
I just replaced a Fuji in a Shinsen that sounded like that.
Looks like a common issue with them.

I was running numbers in my head for the repairs...this is how I broke it down:
Say the repairs are the ballpark 400-700, that is about the same price as a complete torsen swap (pumpkin, carrier, axles, driveshaft), but now you have a used torsen of unknown condition, not to mention the other pieces, too.
So, for roughly the same price, minty LSD or another unknown.
I would call around, though. You owe it to yourself to get the numbers and decide from there.

It's a Torsen.
Yeah I'm gonna ask around and see what kind of guesstimates I get. Thanks for everyone's inputs and stuff.

Fortunately, the Miata pumpkin is pretty easy to separate from the carrier, so labor should be less. I have heard of guys getting their diffs prepped for the racing season for around $300, so I hope the damage, monetarily, is light. :)
