I happen to have a good condition LSD out of an FD cause a customer swapped out for a 2 way at my work and I was wondering is the stock lsd is worth anything. If so how much, if not should i just throw it away?

Put it in the parts FS/wanted section for 3rd gens and see if it's worth your while.

Yes, it is worth something. $100 maybe? Don't throw it away.

Off the top of my head I think I've seen them sell for $50-100.

Hell, I sold my diff and 4.1 (with 112k miles on it) for about $200 IIRC.

If you want to sell it pretty fast...post it on FSAE.com in the For Sale section. That's a forum dedicated to college students who design and build motorcycle engine powered, single seat, open wheeled racecars. They're always looking for Torsen diff's. Make sure that you list it as a Torsen Diff and note that it's NOT a univeristy special and as such it has some unique features such as:

1.) Being able to completely disassemble and re-assemble the diff without having to worry about clocking the side gears. It's a pretty idiot-proof re-assembly process unlike the Torsens that most people in the FSAE community use.

2.) You can adjust the TBR (Torque Bias Ratio) within reason by changing out the diff fluid for more or less viscous fluids.

3.) It has a mounting flange that on the RX-7 is used for the ring gear. In the world of FSAE, this provides a good surface to mate a clamshell diff housing.


4.) Stub axles can be had pretty easily out of an RX-7 (although they're heavy). Most teams have to go to tremendous labor and expense to get axles splined but for this they can just buy salvage yard axles and adapt them to fit.

5.) Bearings and seals are easy to spec because they're just OEM Mazda ones.

Listing all that in your ad, you should be able to get at least 200+ shipping for it. If you don't list that in your ad, don't expect to get more than about 75-100

you can chill with the condescending attitude. this is a tech section... you should research your own prices.

My mistake I thought you wanted to see what it's worth, to anyone without an FD zip, nada, nothing. To someone with an FD....depends on the history, which looks like you know nothing about since it wasn't yours and with your post count very hard to sell to someone on here that doesn't know of you or you personaly. They typically go for what ever someone feels there worth. The more FD's that hit the junkyard the easier it is to find the parts. Last but not least getting an opinion of what it might be worth is a whole lot different than what you can actually get for one. Guess I'll have to decypher your post better.
