I recently bought an 04 LSD. I thought I'd check it before installation. Upon disassembly I noted some wear on the two clutch plates. It seems Mazda treats the LSD as a part not an assembly. Does anyone know of a source for the plates? Thanks

 

I have a complete low mileage OE LSD I'll sell you, swapped it out with an aftermarket one, maybe 5000 miles tops on it

 

I thought there were no clutch in OEM LSD?

 

There are two friction surfaces per axle. One is machined into the splined hub that mates to the axle, the other is a ring shaped clutch plate made of a softer metal which fits loosely into the diff carrier. (See attached photos). Springs fitted between the two hubs apply pressure holding the hub and plate together.It's a relatively simple design and could easily be rebuilt if the parts were available Team RX8, what kinda money you looking for?

 

Not much, lmk via pm or email, just happened upon the thread again ...
