Post Fit LSD with new clutch?

I think my clutch release bearing is on the way out and so I need a new clutch...

Is it worth fitting an LSD while the clutch is being done. I'm thinking in terms of labour savings, or is it not worthwhile?

TIA! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" />

The r and r for the transmision is about four hours labour, and that's what you would save.

I would say if you're going to as far as to tear into the gearbox to put in an LSD, you may just want to do new syncros too while you're there.....

This is getting more and more expensive... I think I might settle for a lightened flywheel and quickshift and change the box oil to Swepco.

I'll do the LSD and a box rebuild next year when funds allow...

Just hate to replace something without improving it...
