not really an LSD!

background info:

so i bought my current rx-7 about 5 years ago from an older guy in the seattle metro area. when i bought it he had a reciept for a shop putting a new clutch LSD in the rear-end (shoulda kept the damn reciept in hindsight). this guys son had been driving the car for a few months before i bought it, and when i finally got arouond to jacking it up it acted like an open diff. i just figured the clutches in the LSD were shot.

as of today lol:

i was pulling the rear axles in antipation of putting in new bearings adn figured i would pull the LSD to finally check the clutches. once i get it out i go "wow, this feels lighter than i remember LSDs being" , i look inside , and low and behold its an open diff. so i asked the P.O. who put the LSD in and he said " i dont remember, mazdas and something" LMFAO


bits of gear ^
