LSD in an Auto Differential??

[Winglessflight]

What is the possibility of putting an LSD out of a 4 bolt diff into an auto diff? I haven't seen this topic conquered yet. And I'd like my car to go straight...

Did you have to custom fab anything? Or does it rebuild as the original equipment? And what did you need out of the 4 bolt to do it?

What's to conquer?

All 2G AWDs rear diffs are 4 bolt versions. If your auto didn't come with the viscous LSD, swap one in from another auto 2G that did. If you up to the task of setting the ring and pinion backlash you can use a LSD diff from a 5 speed and swap the ring gear over onto the LSD diff housing to use in your case.

Excellent. I just hadn't seen anyone talk about doing the swap in these forums or even the IPT forums, therefore i concluded that nobody had tried it. And i just needed to know that the diffs were similar before i just start tearing into mine and buy a non returnable core from a junkyard. Thank you for the feedback
