You should send the metal to get it analyized to see if they meet specifications.

I take it that this is the center diff that transfers power to the rear? Was this done on a launch? If this is the center diff then people have broken all three now.

The spider gears in the transfer case are for the front diff. The center diff gears live in the transmission.

It actually looks to me as if the spider gears are simply too small. DSMs would grenade their center differentials in a similar manner. The way to fix it was to install a 4 spider gear center differential so that there were more spider gears to share the load.

Unfortunately, it appears that to do that on an Evo would require a whole new housing.
