I love that threads can get derailed by improper use of apostrophes.

I think the problem will be finding MSM axels.

The s2000 T2R diff does work in our carriers. I've got an s2000 diff installed in a 4.30 carrier out of a NB, even the bearings are the same.
I'm just having a hard time finding an affordable set of msm axles.

I swear i'll have pics up tomorrow. I've Been busy with side jobs.

I'm also hoping the diff really isn't screwed but I think im being a little to optimistic since I can hear some grinding/clunking when the driveshaft spins.

The s2000 diff and possibly the MSM diff (no hard evidence of that yet just speculation) is a Type 2 R torsen. It has clutches in addition to the the typical torsen 2 helical gears to keep the diff loaded so you don't lose power if you lift a wheel.

I doubt it is any stronger than any other mazda type 2 torsen.

Thank you for sharing your experience and posting pics to make the thread interesting.

Although it is not about the subject, but if you dont mind, How do you give the pic that polaroid effect?
