same thing happened to my stock LSD. I was doing 2nd gear donuts then i heard a clunk, and after that the diff was basically locked. Drained the fluid and some chunks of teeth came out, oops. It would hop when turning and crap.

So the RE wasn't a clutch-type? I think a Kaaz is all disks, no spider gears to break like stock.

as most of you know i broke my diff casing and NOW MY RE-AMEMIYA LSD! i have to change it again. i have a brand new TII clutch type LSD coming. i decided to call the US distributor for kaaz. after talking for about 15mins. he told he has ZERO kaaz failures and if it does fail he can repair them for $250. he said the re diff i have is NOT a kaaz unit. i told him my symptoms, low speed turns car tries to wheel hop.... he said i probably broke a spider gear in the diff. anyway i think i am going to purchase a kaaz rear this way if i ever break it i can have the unit repaired in the USA. that is the end of my sad story
You better not break another LSD.How many diffs can one car kill before you get a good one?Good luck on this one Vosko.





BTW I love the new sig.Thats a killer power number at 15psi.
