LSD Mazdaspeed protege

[jo989]

Hello all I want to know how works a mazdaspeed protege LSD differential because I bought mine on internet and It don't seems to be a LSD differential. It seems to be an open differential. Is there any tips to see if its a real mazdaspeed protege LSD differential? I will put it on my mx-6 2.5L. Thank you

do these still need to be welded??

 

[jo989]

If the final drive of the msprotege diff and the mx-6 is the same (4.105) I won't need to change the crown on the diff? And it's a upgraded version of the differential but should I weld the crown and the pin to be safe?

 

[msp35]

yes, and yes.

 

[69RMSP]

i concur

yes, and yes.

So It will fit bolt-on on my mx-6 with the crown? And I should weld the crown on the cage and the pin? I only want to be sure before welding.

Sorry I wouldn't know about that. I'm sure someone will shine in soon

Definitely weld it... not sure about the MX-6 question. I know it will bolt up to a the FS03 not sure about the KL though... check www.mx6.com you may be able to get more info on that site...
