broke my rear end!

After installing my new stage 3 xtd clutch and full racing beat exhaust i took my 7 to the track and ran it couple of time's. I did some low 14's but i think i broke my
rear end because now when i drive it and change gears i hear a bang from the rear. What would it cost me to rebuild my lsd and what do you guy's think i should do? rebuild to stock or hi performance.

It's probably a broken differential mount.

you didnt brake your rear end .. its actually pretty tough to do in these cars unless you have something like 400hp and you are launching the hell out of it

You have a broken front diff mount

Yep, front diff mount. Get the comp mount from www.mazdatrix.com, its 40% stiffer than stock.

If you broke anything internal on the differential, you wouldn't be able to DRIVE that damn thing.

drain the differential oil and see if there was metal debris from the gears.

I've actually broken my rear end and yes, you will put it in gear, let the clutch out fully, and the car will rev but not go anywhere
