Hi,
Not a 5 speed MT, but a front LSD anyhow....
I installed a Modena torque biasing diff in the JDM VTD 4EAT in my SVX and a Quaife Torsen in the rear....
Now that we have a foot of snow the traction is awesome. The whole car is transformed.... and it goes up a snowy hill much, much better than my 06 3.0R Outback
. Both running same tires - studded Nokian Hakkapeliitta 7s.
I had Detroit Truetracks in both axles of my offroad Range Rover. The TBDs a great, especially in the snow and on slippery slopes - they do not try to balance the speed, but the torque. They retain open diff steering properties - a huge benefit over a "locker" - but naturally suffer if axles are crossed and two wheels are in the air. Also they are quite gentle to the drive train components. Shock loads are controlled.

Kind regards from Finland,
