Rear diff blown... need your advice!
Ok so i blew my rear diff last night at the drag strip on the 4th pass. I'm not sure why it blew so soon, the car only had 100k miles and no real mods. Its a 91 N/A 5spd. So I want you imput on the diffuculty of these options.
1. do a t2 diff swap
2. rebuild the current diff
3. find another used one
Also i am wondering about the compatibility of the s4/s5 diffs and the s4t2/s5na diffs and the s5t2/s5na.
BTW my best time in the 1/4 last night was 16.9 @ 81.5 mhp (engine not running too good)

I would go with a s4 gxl rear end.

an s4 gxl is lsd right? does everything such and the axels and driveshaft and mounts bolt on correctly?

also, I know if I got a T2 diff, it would be wider which would require differant axles but is the N/A driveshaft still compatable? Also is there a differance between s4/s5 t2 diffs?

The driveshaft would have to be remade, with the t2 rear mate - mazdatrix sells one or you could get a local place to make one.
The only diff between the s4/s5 t2 diffs is that the s5 is viscous while the s4 is clutch type.
The t2 diff will be stronger, I would suggest adapting the driveshaft and using t2 halfshafts to prevent breakage.

Also does anyone know what would be involved in installing a s4 N/A GXL LSD?
Thanks for the advice, Philip

and I am pretty sure the s4 gxl rear end is DIRECT bolt in.
