Default Rear differential coupler question

Anyone know of a way to test the rear differential coupler? I have my diff apart, replacing the coupler casing because it cracked (new front mount will be part of this when done). I noticed signs of excessive heat on the input shaft and some tarnishing on one side of it.

Now I'm not sure if these things are due to it driving briefly with a wonky cracked case, or a deeper failure in the coupler itself. Had no DTC prior to pulling it, but is there any other tests/indications I might be able to use?

Looks pretty normal. I'd reuse it.

It seemed ok in operation too, ohmed it out and it's within spec too, just made me a little paranoid. One weird thing @phate, the output shaft bolts were finger tight! Like easily loosened by hand! I know you've probably had these apart before, have you come across that too?
