Fun is to be had in the OT section, not in technical areas. Please post here to help people out, because that is what the technical forums were made for.

If you find a limited slip at a junkyard or one of the many places that just handle Z's are they generally ok to just install as is? I know that there are certain circumstances- like mileage etc, but you never know how the car was actually used........obviously you should have it serviced-but sometimes that can cost more then the rear end itself. Do they have a good track record and if its viscious dont the clutch plates in them wear out and require replacement? If so is that something that you can handle with a fsm? Or should I just suck it up and fork over a crapload of money to someone to fix it for me-- Im kinda on the "if its not broken then dont fix it" track though.

Viscous type doesn't have the clutch plates , that's the clutch type. Viscous type is a heat sensitive silicone fluid , much the same as is found in the fan clutches. They react a lot slower than clutch types , for obvious reasons , but are probably more maintenance free.
