tell him you'll take it for free, and if you try and buy the gears from Mazda....$$$$$ good luck. I wiped out the spider gears in my open diff, they were not cheap. I think I was looking at a little over $300 for 4 spider gears and the pin. Take it for free and get some money for scrap metal

According to the dealer parts catalog, you can purchase the gears, washers, pins etc for the open diff as service parts, however the Torsen diff is listed only as a complete assembly. There's also no rebuild procedure for it in the service manual, unlike the open diff.
