i want to swap it in my 00 miata. my stub shafts are completely different than what the rx7 diff has. and i tried searching. can someone please post up a link. i still dont know if its an n/a diff or a t2 lsd...

installing it as is.. i need to do some reading up. i got under my car yesterday and realized that the stub shafts are wayyy differnt. so this isnt going to be just put the rx diff in the housing.

edit: i guess my main problem is i dont know what year this is out of, and idk if its a t2 or a n/a diff.. im looking into it!

iirc, a second gen NA diff should swap directly into the miata's carrier housing with little to no modification. using a turbo 2 diff requires swapping some of the internal diff parts over to the miata's housing in order to make it work.

scroll down to post 13. good luck.
thank you. i posted stuffz up on rx7 club. i still am on the hunt to see if i have an n/a or t2 lsd. it came out of an 88 gxl, but im not sure if it came from the factory that way...

oh then its an n/a rx7... 86-88 n/a rx7 had a clutch type lsd.. the difference between the t2 and n/a clutch type is internally in the clutch disks. for that you have to take it apart.. its not too hard, and i recommend you do so. because you would have a chance to measure the disks and see if you need to replace any.

Parts:
94-05 1.8 Miata open assembly
84-91 NON-TURBO Rx7 clutch-type lsd (89-91 is a viscous, don't bother)
94-95 Miata stub shafts or 86-88 RX7 stub shafts and 94-95 Miata half-shafts
or 96-05 Miata axles (no stubs needed)
RX7 Circlips (fit onto the end of the stubs/axles, miata clips will not fit)

dumb question, arent the lsd and open stub shafts different?

what about the one piece shafts? same or differnt?

oh and after i get rid of all of my spare crap this is probably going to happen.. and ill try and do a full detailed write up with pics and info gathered from this thread and hopefully we can get it stickied!!
