'11 Si Civic has 6 sp manual close-ratio trans and Helical LSD standard. Does anyone here know the weight of a LSD and/or difference between 5speed and 6 speed manual trans? I am also guessing that newer transmissions are also built heavier as today's engines typically have more power and torque than those from 10-20 years ago.

Transmissions and engines are lighter today than ever, the extra weight is not from there.
