So when you spin the tires does one spin the other way, or both in the same direction?

I'm bettin' they're spinning in the same direction, or he'd be spinning like a top! Hard to believe it isn't a limited slip diff though.

just be careful when you go get an s4 lsd because the clutch types wear out.

dude i say if your gonna put another diff in the car save up and buy an aftermarket performance diff or a new factory diff. buying a used one you never know the condition its in or how long its gonna last you.



like i always say if it breaks upgrade it!

With an open diff the other wheel would spin the opposite direction.

I'm not too sure what breaks in the lsd unit, but that may be you problem.


Clutchpacks/sycnrhos wear out or the sleeves break on them usually. I've see a fractured carrier but that was SERIOUS abuse.



Not even real sure what type of system the Mazda uses, guess I'll have to go look...

i could be wrong but I could've SWORE that I had that option. Then again it may explain the problem.



Maybe it's time to hit the salvage yard... S4 GTU's had LSD's right?
A S4 GXL should have LSD, as well as the GTU and sport models.
