installing the clutch and flywheel typically arent hard. the part that's hard is pulling out the tranny and putting it back in. thats why it's ideal to put in the clutch and flywheel while the lsd is being installed. same labor steps.

125 bucks for misc parts is BS. The quaife part. needs no "Misc" parts. You use your old bearings, and You re-fill the lubricant.... 30 bucks for the oil and ermm.. where do they come up with 125?
#126
they probably consider replacing the gaskets/seals with RTV a misc part. but still not $125. Maybe to buy the special tools to disassemble the tranny?? I dunno. Although every tranny I have disassembled I have found a makeshift tool that gets the job done without having to buy special tools to do the job.

It would be nice to know what true difference that 2+k would make in the real world.... both under spirited street driving, as well as any benefit when under poor conditions ( for those of us who drive these year round.... sun or snow... ).
I'm guessing, wrong as i may be, that those who would get the most benefits out of an lsd would be ones with higher hp rides, not those of us with stock sc's or n/a motors.
At least it would come with the full warranty... that is until someone bolts on larger then stock rims or runs incorrect psi in the tires ( or insert any other stupid thought that they could use not to fix it if it broke )... sorry, jumped the tracks a bit there...

Honestly, TRD should just stick to racing, and not sell to the factory warranty population. They're starting to bleed into an area that's just going to annoy a lot of people.

They didnt explain the misc parts to me. I was in a rush so couldnt ask many questions.
Now heres a question, to install the LSD the tranny will be out right?
Would they still charge me full price for install if I had them throw a new clutch in there?
The tranny is already out so I would think it would be almost no install time for the new clutch, but this is the dealership...

I don't see how your rims are going to be at fault unless they're different sizes, which is stupid with or without LSD.
generally speaking, TRD offering it is STILL an advantange. as if you werent going to pay for it if it broke anyway. at least this way there is a chance it's covered. and quaife remains in business instead of underselling.

the dealer will have no proof that simply a wheel size matters because they sell wheels on their own in different sizes too. and if perhaps the wheel was defective and caused damage, that'd be probably covered under the wheel manufacturer's policy. or so we hope.
also, i wouldnt mind new parts in my tranny. id let them replace what they want, within reason.

ok, here's a dumb question from the aarp crowd: if we get a better launch with a limited slip; can i assume the torque steer would be more pronounced? I've experienced only small amounts of it during "rolling starts", and didn't know if the car maybe was designed ( perhaps had equal length half shafts ) to help limit it during a true hard launch.
My previous experience with "stronger" front drivers was when i sold the 1st gen turbo eclipses which ( unless you got the awd ) could be quite a handful at times--sure surprised a few people on test drives.... so am still relatively new to the performance front drive circuit.
As for TRD having this part now; i wonder if they will/would package it with a new clutch assembly. Something that may better handle ( then stock ) long term the harder take-offs that the limited slip will offer?
just some early morning thoughts...
