QUIZ! What is this?
Hello guys since my car started to make a klanking noise while accelerating at low speed with steering input I decided to change my axle thinking it was my problem. A spindle and an axle later, I realise it makes the same klanking noise so my problem is obviously my LSD. I've read a lot on forum, I think in my situation the best option is to swap the NA8 Torsen 'package' on my NA6 but anyway, I would like to know more about my current LSD since I *think* it's not stock (can't find a matching housing with miata.net/differential spotters guide). Here's a picture, I'll be removing my differential today so I can put an open one while I wait. Thanks!

my stubs do not match the ones in the spotters guide I've read it 8 times. my diff stubs looks like it doesn't have the ears (the one supposed to be symetrical on the open diff and assymetrical on the vlsd). Mine is square with a stud on each corner as you can see in the photo. Does that matter ?

chill out.
you posted it yesterday and people told you its a 1.6 diff.
if you want to know if its a vlsd go around a tight corner with your foot to the mat. if it spins one tire, you have an open diff or a vlsd thats worn out and will be the same as an open diff anyways.

UPDATE: I just finished removing my differential. Here are some pictures. I just don't get it: the front part attached to the driveshaft and the stubs don't look like the ones shown in the spotters guide. I have perfectly square diff stubs with no ears and the nose of the diff doesn't look exactly the same.

Hey fail bot read what we siad it is a 1.6 diff that means it is rather weak and not worth repairing even if it is fuxared. If you want to get the car back on the raod then buy another 1.6 or preferably a better beefier 1.8 diff. Otherwise i dont care what you do agressive driving will turn the diff into metal soup.

Nice help douchefag you're not answering my question, what could possibly be in my open diff casing ? Is it some kind of aftermarket clutch type unit, does it come from a rx-7, who sells them etc etc.
I know for sure 1.6 diff are weak no matter what but before swapping the torsen kit I'd like to know all of my options.
