Default My broken differential pics...

Note the missing pieces (circled). They should look like the other side does:


One of the snapped off pieces (circled) among the other debris. Arrow shows the hole on the housing as well as lots of metal shavings. Under the debris you can see a snapped center ring:


Note the wear and tear:

Hard to tell from the pics but it looks like the bearing caps failed. Did any of the bolts break? Methinks a cap girdle is in order,
or a 9in Ford replacement.

Has any of this damage been attributed to the SC? Didn't you also break an axle earlier?

Hey Wesmaster, are you planning to upgrade to a Kaaz LSD - do you think the Kaaz will be able to tolerate high rpm clutch drops??

I'm planning on upgrading my clutch, because my current one is failing... I still plan on driving my car hard, maybe get a supercharger after the mounting bracket problem is fixed... But do you guys think that upgrading the clutch is a bad idea, and should I expect the diff to fail later..??? I've been reading a lot of bad things lately, and it's really starting to get me worried about modifying my car.. But for the meantime, I need to replace my clutch, because it keeps slipping when I run it hard. Should I upgrade, or just get an original from honda...????
