I agree CELs are not good but i'm a little short on funds so i was trying to get the cheapest alternative without going back to the auto tranny. when i save more money i most definitely go with the whole CLs swap. I tried hunting down parts and it seems to cost 2500 in parts without the tranny. then there's the shop/mechanic that i'll have to pay (probably $800) to get the job done. Totalling clost to $4500 which is a little out of my budget. I will eventually do the full and i'll post when i have some pics!! Thanks everyone!! If there are any other suggestion on where to get parts to complete this project around $3000 including labor and tranny it would be most appreciated!! Thanks again!!

I still need a six speed. The parts for the CL-S aren't that hard to find, they are just somewhat pricey. Just keep your ears to the ground gentlemen.In other news, any updates on the module Richie?

Not dumb at all... differentials are pretty complex. But LSDs are usually well worth the extra green when it comes down to it, especially if you are a driving enthusiast. Want a more reliable car, as the OP said? You don't really need it, Accords and base Civics don't have them. The 6MT TL, Civic Si, S2000 and NSX all have an LSD standard.... see a pattern?

ah ha...well sounds like I prolly don't need it then...this whole possibility of the 6mt from an accord without having to use the harness is quite the exciting prospect, much cheaper too...
thanx costco!!!

Wikipedia:
The main advantage of a limited slip differential is found by considering the case of a standard (or "open") differential where one wheel has no contact with the ground at all. In such a case, the contacting wheel will remain stationary, and the non-contacting wheel will rotate freely– the torque transmitted will be equal at both wheels, but will not exceed the threshold of torque needed to move the vehicle, thus the vehicle will remain stationary. In everyday use on typical roads, such a situation is very unlikely, and so a normal differential suffices. For more demanding use however, such as driving off-road, or for high performance vehicles, such a state of affairs is undesirable, and the LSD can be employed to deal with it. By limiting the velocity difference between a pair of driven wheels, useful torque can be transmitted as long as there is some friction available on at least one of the wheels.
so less wheelspin and more even torque? that's what i've always been told
EDIT: guess i should read the whole thread before replying cuz i keep answering stuff thats been answered ll

I'm in Ohio too looking to do a 6sp swap on a non-S. Do you need someone for the testing of the module?
Please have a 99 4 spd

i'd love to be the test subject!
oh wait... can't... no funds, not my car yet...
if i did have both, then it would make life easy for you.. since i live so close to chi-town

For a type-s 3500 ish doing it without the modules not including labor. (dont know what the modules will run)
