I've been trying to find a limited slip differential for my 2023 Elite, but it's been tough getting good info, I called a few shops, most had no clue or just said it's not common, has anyone here actually done it? I am looking for real-world advice before I drop serious cash on parts
 
I checked this out a while ago for a friend's older Odyssey. Honestly, limited slip diffs aren't really a thing for these vans, especially in newer ones like your 2023 Elite. Most shops won't have much info because Honda uses brake-based traction control instead of a true mechanical LSD.

Your best bet is to reach out to Traction Concepts and see if their LSD kit for earlier models could work for yours, but just know it might require some custom work. Otherwise, investing in better tires and making some alignment adjustments can really help improve traction.

bro, before you commit to an LSD, have you looked into other options?
you know, for a lot of people, upgrading the tires to a high performance all season or summer tire makes a bigger difference in traction and handling than an LSD.
It's far less expensive, and it might give you the feeling you're looking for without the major mechanical work and potential headaches of a full LSD swap

dude, never ever ever say that anything can replace an LSD, it can't. Harry Potter with a magic wand won't replace an LSD.

@Kang_ Let me try and give you some advice that's actually good. I haven't come across a mechanical LSD that you'd be able to use, so how about a conversion kit? I'm sure there's one that would fit.
