Default lsd fitting

I have a xr3i mk4 gearbox which i want to put a lsd form a rs turbo in. I already have the lsd but not sure how to go about fitting it. I have built engines but never touched a gearbox. Has anybody got any information on how to do this with torque setting if possible. is it a fairly straight forward convertion?

cheers.

You have to pretty much fully strip the box, removing in and output shafts, all the gears etc, there is a guide somewhere on the internet, ill try and find it for you.
