Default phantom grip lsd problems (differential)

All right, I had a transmission specialist install the phantom grip "lsd" into my civic dx transmission. He had a machine shop machine the spider gears inside the differential because you have to remove some material for it to fit. Anyways, it lasted one day before it just shredded my spider gears inside my differential in half. My question is if anyone knows where to buy replacement spider gears because they are easily removable from the differential but honda does not sell them (they sell the whole differential) and I don't want to pay $400 for this stupid ****. By the way, I installed the "upgrade springs" with the kit and the reason the spider gears shredded is that the phantom grip wouldn't let the shaft in the differential spin. Anyone heard of the same problems out of phantom grip? Thanks
