For the diff, definitely! It overheats and your vlsd turns to slush. For lsd's, the clutch discs inside wear out and you have to rebuild after so many events. A lot of guys just get an open diff and weld it together so they dont have to worry about this.

For the clutch of course. Especially if you initiate with your clutch instead of an ebrake by revving your engine and dumping the clutch at a high rpm to spin the wheels. Your flywheel also gets some marks that scream he has drifted with me.

Tranny, it depends on your hp I guess. Most transmissions are able to withstand a certain amount of power, once you exceed that things start to break. Thats why Im not looking to get boosted or make any more power than I am now. Im happy with the power and glad I bought a car that can handle it without me looking for more. To drift its more about gaining speed and then controlling that speed after inducing the oversteer.

For the engine, it you are keeping your engine revving at a high rpm so im sure that will get some wear. Keeping your rev limiter is safe so your dont blow your engine up.
