TSX LSD Possibility?
I was surfing the Temple forms and it looks like some guy installed the RSX-S LSD into a TSX with positive results. The cost is sorta steep and I would imagine that it would be a good opertunity to do a clutch/light flywheel replacment but I would be stoked for this.
What are hte group thoughts on this?

Zasker1 - I've also thought about having a LSD put in down the road, but it is a little pricey for parts and labor. I've seen that almost any LSD for the RSX or JDM Integra will fit our cars. People have said that the performance of the car will greatly improve.

I am referring to transmissions.....I am not sure if the TSX is different or not...I can do some more research on it.

Is the CRV's final drive even shorter than the TSX's 4.76?I thought the best combo was the RSX-S gearbox with the TSX final drive..

Will this only work on a MT car? I know that the clutch type LSD only obviously works on MT, but there are many different kinds of LSD's, one of which uses a type of silicone liquid and does not attach to the clutch (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited_slip_differential). Would any of these work on an AT?

Also, just because an LSD is a clutch-type does not mean that it is for MT only. It has nothing to do with the MT clutch. It just means that the LSD has clutches inside of it.

Well, LSD is a limited slip differential... I thought AT doesn't even have a part of this will fit.
The AT has Torque Convertor, completely different stuff.

Some LSDs have clutches, but they has nothing to do with the clutch that sits between the pressure plate and the flywheel.
Responding to other statements that an LSD is only a performance option - try going up an icy hill with VSA on... the system will brake the car to a halt rather than let it spin. With an LSD, you 1) will apply torque to both wheels (and so will have a lesser chance of spinning out and 2) you have a traction control system that is non-lossy... very useful in this situation.
