The Torsen makes shavings every time you do a
one-wheel peel. That's its nature, metal-to-metal
bind but once it starts to slip, it starts to scrape.
The simple presence of shavings, does not mean
the unit is "bad". Used, abused maybe. But it can
go on for a while before it gets uselessly sloppy.
I had about a tablespoon of shavings in mine but
no obvious difference in performance, at about 15K.
But I put a T-2R anyway.
You can find stock Zexel chunks for cheap, low miles or
take-outs. Maybe $50-$75.
