lsd option

(copied my post from the engine drivetrain sub for more exposure)

Would a 3.15 m performance lsd for an automatic be okay to use in a 6mt? I believe the ratio for 6mt is 3.23.

have a chance at getting one brand new for dirt cheap.

The 6MT might have a lower torque rating. Where are you getting the LSD can I get one as well? I might be interested in a used one as well.

I think you're asking for trouble with AWD. Back wheels will spin at different rates than the fronts.
