as far as i know, either the ring and pinion break, or the ring gear bolts back out.

If that is the case the Mazda LSD is not the problem. The large and small diffs have the same set up procedures. The major differance is that larger diffs have three pinion bearings.

I have been running sm for three years and build my own rearend. to this date no
broken gears but one lsd failer. the clutches wore out. disasemble clean and locktight, change fluid every 2nd weekend. I also over fill the rear end. insteed of one half quart i allmost get a full one in.

i have hade a couple units come into my garage with broken gears. these were broken from off track action and side stepping the cluth on a down shift.
