So mechanical is superior to the clutch type.
To fully comprehend why. Could you explain the difference between the two?
For example, when you say mechanical and clutch, you are talking about the interior of the lsd right? So im guessing that there is a clutching system inside the lsd that would disconnect until you wanted the limited slip diff to activate.
If that assumption is correct and from what your saying, what system would make the mechanical system better?
Really curious about this.
b.t.w. for all those out there that wanted to know
This is from a google search 
"For The Engineering Major:
A Limited Slip Differential (LSD) is a modified or derived type of differential gear arrangement that reduces wheel spin, especially when cornering at high speed by allowing for some difference in rotational velocity of the output shafts. Limited Slip Differential (LSD) does not allow the difference in speed to increase beyond a preset amount. By limiting the velocity difference between the pair of driven wheels, useful torque can be transmitted as long as there is some friction available on at least one of the wheels.
For The Rest of Us:
The Limited Slip Differential (LSD) reduces wheel spin while cornering at high speeds to maintain:
* Go-kart like handling.
* Optimum traction between tires and pavement."
So in otherwords, the lsd doesnt actually lock the two wheels so that they spin at the same rate like a locked diff, it just restricts the rotational speed difference between the two tires allowing for BETTER cornering and better traction! (and burnouts and drifting muhahaha)
Just thought I'd add that because it just dispelled some misconceptions I had about the lsds.
