There isn't an "LSD" transmission, it's just a manual with LSD. Are you adding an aftermarket LSD to a Prelude tranny or something?

You would have to Find a transmission with a LSD already in it... or you would have to BUY and LSD diff. and put it in your transmission, Which isnt somthing that you would be able to do unless you know how to take a transmission apart..

And i think a quality brand lsd diff like quaife is around 800 bucks...

only thing a LSD allows you to do is to get traction when one wheel is on a good surface and the other wheel is on a bad surface and it also helps with torque steer and turning while accellerating. in a car tunned for handling it is worth it IMHO
