AWD LSD swap

[johnovision27]

I haven't come across an answer for this just yet. I currently have a m/t 97gsx non LSD rear diff and have come across a BFH rear diff from an a/t 95 GSX.
Aside from obtaining a passenger rear axle for the BFH diff, are these 2 items interchangeable? If no, what all needs to be done and is it possible?

Cheers

Also, someone should really write up a tech article on which rear diffs can be swapped. Would save a lot of confusion.

I believe that the auto rear diff has a different gear ratio then the manual rear diff. there for you would not be able to interchange the two.

Tranny gear ratios for DSMs

The rearend housing is the same for all AWD 2Gs.
The ring and pinion ratio is different for M/T and A/T.
The differentials are interchangeable, but you must match the axles to the diff. (IE: LSD axles to LSD diff, etc). There is only LSD and a non-LSD rear diffs - they are not tranny specific.

So you can use everything but the ring and pinion from that a/t rearend.
