I have a few questions about LSD's.
After owning my R for about 6 months, I have been looking into how to take care of the tranny better.
What kind of LSD additive should I use. If any, is this stuff worth the work. Also, how do I add it. I am assuming that I just do it when I change the tranny fluid. What milage is best to do this at?
The tranny is very noisy, especially when I am reversing and turning the wheels all the way left or right. Is this normal?
Thanks alot in advance. I am new to LSD's and all, so any help or suggestions are appreciated.

well a lot of people use adhesive such as synchro mesh, helps i heard.. but i also heard that it helps when you have slight synchro grind, but in the long run it is bad as it will get worst,i use regualr honda mtf you will be good to go with that.

Noise in reverse is normal, that is a straight cut gear. The noise you hear when you have the steering wheel cranked is the power steering pump killing itself, not the tranny. Try to avoid fully locking up the steering.
No LSD additive is needed in a stock tranny. Just stick with good old Honda MTF and you'll be fine.
