A while back, I was having some issues with my LSD gearbox, wouldnt accelerate smoothly was very noisey and quite clunky.
I swapped it out for another box for the time being so I took the time to crack open the LSD one and have a nosey inside see if I could see anything that could have been causing the issues.

all the bearings were smooth minimal play in them, there was only a slight mark on two of the teeth on first gear
but I did find these little bits

hiding underneath the shifter mechanism sat right in the bottom of the box, bottom right of this picture, they had all collected there.

does this mean bad times? or are they bits from the reverse gear as it did look quite worn....
