if you are planning on making substantial power with this car then third and fifth gear upgrade is recommended, i think we purchased uors from protege garage

the diff is still intact.... third went under power, but not beating on it... just running up through the gears.... but the car makes good power.. 250+ at the wheels
ok it has the button..... just a design i haven't ran across yet...
we are getting the trans upgrade kit that has the new lsd and third and fifth gears so hopfully this won't be an issue in the future
ok thats the same kind of diff in the slide show, but what type of "lsd" is it??
i've built many cars in my days and looking at it and being able to freely spin the side gears it doesn't appear to have any kind of torque splitting

i was under the assumption that the msp's had a factory lsd......
i am currently working on two 03' Mazdaspeed Protege's and niether of them have any sort of "limited slip" in their differentials....????
one is in for engine work and just checked it from outside the case and the other blew...
