that is what a "welded" MSP diff is...
anywhere else in the world, its the spider gears that get welded, but we're... special. LOL

Cool, pretty simple. Thanks for the picture.
Alright, so update. We attempted to fix the damaged shift rod on the trans but the weak weld gave so we just made it worse though if we couldn't fix it, it didn't really matter. So we torn open the bad trans to get the shift rod out of it which we did successfully. Now I have to find a transmission shop I can take my trans to so they can switch out the shift rods and I will also be getting the LSD welded to prevent any failure down the line.
I also installed the rear motor mount in about an hour or so, it was A LOT easier than I was expecting. The how-to helped a lot but the key is a swivel extension, without it, it would be a nightmare.

After work today, I went with the trans to the trans shop I felt was my best option after calling a dozen this morning. Got a quote of $200 to replace the rod and another $100 if I wanted to get the LSD welded at the same time. This will be the place I will be taking it to, however a claim has been filed with UPS and they will be popping up sometime soon to see the damage caused in transit and we'll go from there on how much they're going to give me, if any at all. Then she'll go off and get repaired.
Then I come home with a letter from Corksport, I open it and find this
Another SS clutch line. But why? Enclosed was a letter telling me they have reason to believe my previous clutch line would not have proper fitment and may cause issues so this is my replacement and to please destroy the previous clutch line.
Hey, +1 to Derrick and Kelly at corksport for giving me a free clutch line cause they thought the previous had a problem. They could of easily let me keep my current one and eventually ran into some problems. (2thumbs)

Well, retrofits were shipped early yesterday so they should arrive tomorrow. I'm pretty excited to see them. Then today, I got an email from ups with instructions on what pictures they wanted to continue with this claim. Pictures have been taken and sent to them, now I just wait and see what they decide. Wish me luck. Corksport eyelids also arrived today, VERY good quality
