Is the Acura LSD a drop-in for Accord V6 6MT?
I posted this in transmissions, but apparently the rules don't allow newcomers such as myself to post there, so....
I think this is the 6MT in the 8th and 9th generation Accord Coupes with the v6.
Here are some details on the Acura LSD:

Here is the detail on the stock Accord diff:

Looks like a drop in to me, even the shims and everything look identical. The only difference appears to be that the diff and final gear are sold as one unit with the Accord and it is separated in the Acura. Looks like the LSD would bolt to the stock Accord final gear.
Can somebody with tranny knowledge comment? Has anyone done this mod?

Try asking on acurazine forum.
But as far as I understand the 6mt is shared between the s2000/rsx and TL/Accord. I cant say anything educated about the Limited Slip Diff though. I have a 06 v6 6mt
Good luck
