Default LSD Tranny for sale?

I can't find any LSD Tranny's, cheap ones for that matter, and there only sites left I was told aren't even on them, and ebay. Which it being ebay is enough for me not to look. Can anyone help me find a ood deal on some LSD's, probably going to check ebay real quick in the mean time. Thanks ahead of time.

No such thing as a cheap LSD or cheap factory LSD trans unless it has been run into the ground. You need to post this in the market place as a wanting to buy add and just wait, it's how I got my T2W4.

I've got their unit in my 5th gen base model's 5-speed and love it. It's only got about 15,000-20,000 miles on it so far so I can't speak for longetivity yet.

The MFactory unit is also extremely well made, and only about $650

Well I'm not looking for "cheap" but I'm hoping to find some less than 1k. Though worth it, I'm looking for something a little more affordable.

You probably found one by now, but here, just in case.

Very fresh tranny.

I think its a useless mod unless you're serious about racing. RR/AutoX for that matter, not sure you even need it for Drag Racing.

Liar.

People spend $300+ on a **** header to get no horsepower and no better traction.

People spend $600+ on cat-back exhaust system to get a little high end power and no more traction.

People spend $600+ on lowering springs & struts for their car for no more power but moderate increase of stability in corners while still keeping the crazy torque steer and usually losing all comfort in the ride.

People spend $600+ on some stupid 30-profile tires, made of some super sticky rubber and only last 4,000 miles, to get better traction while still keeping the crazy torque steer.

I spent $600 on an inexpensive, aftermarket LSD (Synchrotech) and the following happened:

- I got zero horsepower increase.
- I got to keep my stock-ish (KYB GR2) suspension and comfortable ride.
- I got to keep using my standard all-season 205-55ZR16 Pilot Exalto's. Though I did spend $600 on a set of 4 they have been going strong for the better part of 20,000 miles and are at about 1/2 tread.
- All of my torque steer disappeared while driving on anything other than the slickest of ice covered roads. Can't win them all with a mechanical, clutch-less, LSD.
- I have all the traction I could want whenever I choose to want it. Again, this doesn't apply to icy roads.


I'd rank it up there with being one of the best things you could do to your Prelude especially if you have the time, money, or need to have your transmission out.

Just get either a M2B4 or a T2T4 LSD trans. I got my T2T4 for $900.00 shipped, and that of course is under 1K.

I would stay away from the M2B4, VERY small difference in gearing, price is too high for what it is, crappy viscous LSD and you can't even swap in a better aftermarket LSD if you want later down the line. T2T4 is just a M2Y4 with a OEM helical LSD so if you find it for maybe only $50 more than a M2Y4 that would be the only way it'd be worth it, wouldn't pay a lot for that one either.

T2W4 and U2Q7 are the only ones worth spending $1k on especially the T2W4 because you can have really short 1-4 while still having the same 5th ratio as a M2Y4 for highway. Something that cannot be accomplished with a FD that would change all gears.

I would also recommend staying away from the transmissions with the Factory Viscous LSD.. Was never pleased with their performance. If you are good with your current transmission as far as condition and gear ratio. I would suggest adding an LSD to it. I would go with either a Wavetrac or Quaife. They have proven themselves and have a transferable lifetime warranty. Can't beat that! You will spend about $7-800 but, the benefits out weight the costs as godslayer stated above.
