The partsgroup.com shows to have a couple! May be worth a phone call!
Does it say "slip" because it's not a limited slip?Quote:

Yep... they show 2 Viscous Limited Slips here for $350. The torsens start at $775.Quote:

One interesting option might be the Mazdaspeed Limited Slip Differential. It is designed to drop right in to the 1.6 open case. Moss lists it for $699 but it is likely less through Mazda Motorsports. It might be a better option then spending more on a used torsen with a bunch of miles on it. Anyone know what kind of LSD it is?

Clutch-type, iirc. Much better than a viscous, and has some advantages over a Torsen (although I'd probably still take a Torsen if money were no object).Quote:

A Torsen type LSD is an upgrade for the early unit but requires replacing the entire diff housings assembly from the later 1994-> generation cars as they are completely different units. See Mike Inman's Torsen upgrade page or Dennis Nutting's Torsen upgrade page for more on their installation reports. See also the Miata.Net Garage for other swap info.
