the reason i asked if it had LSD was I had a LSD tranny in my 85.5 and couldn't screach the tires even if I tried, good. But I would rev up to about 5k and couldnt get it into 2nd gear right away, let the rpm's drop a few and it would shift to 2nd easy, same thing in 3rd, but shifted easier. I thought that you had to bleed the clutch after putting in a new clutch. Its an easy job, just put in a new slave and master cylinder on mine. You have to remove the starter to get to the slave so you can bleed the cluth system- to get a better bleed- early- jack the front end up, late- jack the back end up to get most of the fluid out.
