Mazda6 S Traction-lock/LSD

[Elite130]

I bought a M6 S w/ a manual tranny and realized that it has an open differential up front. This is my first front-wheel drive car and I don't know much about transverse-mounted engines/transmissions, so I need some help. I hate one-wheel-peels. I live in Colorado and having both drive wheels lock up together to power through snow really helps. What options do I have make this happen? Are there any traction-lock units or limited-slip differentials available that I can have installed?

Thanks for any help!

If you're driving in snow/ice, you really don't want a real LSD in the front. You should use a non-preloaded torsen/gleason worm-gear type. If your front wheels are "locked up together" your car will NOT turn on the slippery surfaces.
