Oops! Trouble with my locker *pics*

Hehe broken parts are fun and this was in the rain Pulled out from a parking lot and goosed the throttle only to hear a "thunk" from the back. Snapped off the paddle on the passenger side of the locker Good thing I saved what came out, put it back to an open diff until I get this fixed.

Yup, it's the powertrax no-slip locker (400 bucks) I emailed them last night with the same pictures. Got a reply already saying to call their tech line for a warranty replacement 2 year warranty on them and I've had it in the car since last May.

Pulled out of a parking lot onto the road, everything was wet from the rain. Nearly get the car straight and I goosed the throttle just to kick the backend out for a second. It didn't do that at all, stayed straight after the little thunk noise. Broke off that paddle deal and a tooth off a syncro. Done it a hundred times before dry and wet roads but it decided to let go yesterday. No big deal if they don't want to warranty it, I'm planning on putting in a stronger rear end anyway.
