Swaping Differential

Hi!

In the futur, i wish to buy a Camaro V6 automatic for my next car, but one thing i dont like is that when you choose the autobox, you dont have an LSD in the back.

Is it possible to take the Diff from an SS and put it on a V6 car?


Thx!

The performance difference between the open diff automatic and limited diff manual is negligible. With enough money you can do anything, but the question is why do you want to?

I could see wanting the limited slip for areas that are snowy in the winter. Or if you're putting down so much torque that you're breaking loose a lot during launches.

Or for motorsports reasons

Not with the Gen5. You have to take the entire housing with the LSD diff and put it in your car. A v-6 m-6 rear end or a m-6 v-8 or an a-6 v-8 third member. Also you'll need to change hubs and axles. but that's the gen five
