Differential baffle mod?
**I think that about covers it. While Donnie was in there, they did the baffle modification recommended by Mazdatrix to keep diff fluid from sloshing away from the center during hard cornering. Mark Schroeder recommended Redline Lightweight, Shockproof gear oil for it, and I followed his advice.
I looked, but found nothing on Mazdatrix's website. Does anyone know what David Lane is talking about?

No, but I do know that an old road race trick was to raise the fill plug on the diff, and to create new baffles that fit closer to the axle shafts and have a tighter fit to the axle tube, and the new baffle has a much smaller oil return passage on the bottom.
