2G Awd Auto to Manual rear axles ?

[91dsm]

Im in the midst of doing an auto to manual swap and im finishing up gathering parts. I have a 95 auto w/ lsd rear. Im swapping in a 99 manual awd NON lsd rear. Are the rear axles different ?

You'll need non LSD rear axles. Manual or auto doesn't matter.

IMHO you're swapping the wrong way

Lol yeah Ive heard that a few times already. I know the auto is a much stronger transmission but I just like the fun factor of a manual car

Can't blame you there, mines a manual and I love rowing the gears! If I were doing a drag car I'd definitely go auto tho, nice thing is the 2g auto drivetrain is desirable with the lockup converter option.

I did the same, I'm not building a race car so I wanted to have fun actually driving the car.

Also If I were to find a 2g manual LSD rear would it matter what year car it comes off of ? I cant find any definitive info on here about that.

Doesn't matter. The rear diff ratios only change from manual to auto.

Auto = 3.307
Manual = 3.545
