I have yet to break my lsd.. I have broken a few other parts in my trans though.. In fact, its apart right now awaiting some parts to be finished up.. Im getting my lsd welded this afternoon.. Its out of the trans.. Its really easy to get out too.. Here's some pics of the inside of my trans..
The broken shift fork..
The broken shift fork..
Getting the trans apart is fairly simple.. You just gotta have an impact to get the shaft nuts loose.. Then everything just pulls off until you get to the bearings..

Some have ruined gears and housings, one guy I recall trashing the majority of his tranny. Of course, he continued to try to put it in gear and engauge/disengauge the clutch, repeatedly, ignoring the horrific noises all the while.
Your stock clutch is just fine for the numbers you'll be running unless you've got semi-big to big plans. The same goes with the hardened gears-- really aren't necessary. Your biggest priority after the LSD would be to replace the rods with forged if you're boosting over 8 psi.

Those welds are nasty! Did that dude even know how to MIG weld?

engine management, and an upgraded intercooler
The upgraded one still breaks, so you still have to wed it. People say the original one grabs better.
yeah it looks like a slag of s***
THIS is good welding

My comment regarding engine management and an upgraded intercooler wasn't in reference to them being breakage-prone; I was referring to them being a "weak link" in the sense that they're your next major impedences.

^^ Beautiful welds. No offense Itslow, but that guy was either blind, or had never touched a welder's torch before touching your LSD. I'd grind that down and start over.

Also If the welds are not balanced all the way around you can get some vibration from it. And that diff doesn't look even close.
