sorry to hear that.
still if they said to you it has a lsd, I would chase that up with them, its gotta be against tpa, misrepresentation, or something like that.
good to hear about the rest of the car, being good. I have never regretted getting an lsd put in mine. it was, $400 off ebay, and another $100 to $200 to get fitted with the right oil etc.

Cheap LSD = Bad.
Cone Type LSD's need good setup and tooth contact patterns to be tough, durable and not noisy.
I forked out to get it done right first time. Went from a 3.08 7.5" peg legger to a 3.73 8" LSD on my VT. $1465 with 12 month warranty fitted. Complete rebuild with new bearings and brand new FACTORY GEARSETS. This is the big thing. The metal castings used in the Borg Warner factory gearsets are harder and yet more durable than new repro's. A second hand set with no tooth face wear is much better than a new repro.
However - setting up pre loads and contact patches properley is not a job to do at home, or for a dodgy backyarder. Take it to and old experienced hand to do it properley.

7-800 with the same ratio is about right 14-1500 with a new gears though why you would keep it 3.08 ???
