My turn...LSD took a big crap.

The picture really doesn't show if the springs are there or not. All the MSPs should have gotten the LSD with the springs from the factory.

They'll put the same crap in there again. I'll def. try to get them to do the labor though. I had my eye on that spec clutch for a long time :)
Exactly I would buy a better diff and have them install it.
 
Ok...update

The lsd is back together along with the tranny and clutch. Spec clutch is very smooth and the pedal is very precise, not as heavy as the stock clutch. However, one problem...the car is shacking back and forth like a wild horse anywhere from 2-4k rpm. The LSD went back together out of round as it turns out.

It looks like the CV shaft on the drivers' side is bent about 1/8th" Not really sure how this happend. Hopefully no more problems will arise after we replace the damn CV shaft.

Ideas?

Did you just have the original LSD case rewelded and re-installed in the car?

Yeah, but the weld has to be very even, so you get no vibration.

I have an undamaged MSP transmission I may be tearing down.

I thought by "welding the diff" they meant actually welding it solid like the old Spider gear to spool mod. This may actually hold up to something!

It works, not sure how well yet
 
Ok.

Put the new Axle in there, but the car still shakes. Now it looks like the LSD went back together uneven. So now I got a new factory LSD which we're going to weld up for strength, balance, and stick back in the damn tranny. I can only hope nothing else is going to pop up.

Never would of thought this would be such a pain in the ass and in my pocket mostly because of MPNICKs' lies.
