looks pretty good, you may want to buff out the scuffs.

ya, good to go - after you spend $1500 +/-.
Hope those 50 hole shots were worth it...

I think I'm just reiterating the sarcasm you've received so far, but the entire rear end is destroyed.

As for the physical limited slip itself?

Tough call. Given that you've grenaded the whole thing, I would err on the side of caution and replace the differential itself as well when you a get a new case and gearset. Given the unintended loads all the elements of that case experienced as a result of the broken teeth bouncing around in there, I can't say I'd have a lot of faith that the differential isn't tweaked at least a little.

So to directly answer your question, I would consider the diff to be highly suspect, if not outright damaged.

edit to add:

Also, some better, closeup pics of the diff itself would help, since you only have 2 marginally useful shots of the diff, and the rest showing the scattershot result of excessively launching on the stock diff.

Only 50 launches and your diff looks like that?



I have *hundreds* of 4.5-5k launches on 275 Hoosier A6 and my diff sounds and feels fine.
