So I think it is in fact possible, you can get a 2.0 or 3.6 differential in a 3.27 gear with the LSD. You then will have to pull the axel connection flanges off and replace them with "V8" ones that will fit your original "V8" axels. You don't have to do this but you will have the weaker axels if you don't. Also It seems like you should be able to pull your existing axel flanges off and put them on the new 3.27 differential instead of having to buy them new, not sure why there would be a difference between the manual and automatic V8 axle flanges.

The problem is now where to find one, absolutely none on ebay right now, except for one but they want to sell the whole rear subframe. I can't find any any where else, I'm not sure if they are even available new, which im sure if you bought one new it would be well over $1000. Its obvious people everywhere are buying these up to put on their automatic cars.

There’s a few people that posted on them doing it, here’s off a quick search

Lowest I’ve seen a 3.27 has been $500 without the cost of shipping. Easiest way would be a local salvage yard I think, just match up the car with whatever diff you’re looking for from the chart and hope they don’t charge an arm and leg for it.

I've found a few but they are basically 900-1000 without shipping, but then supposedly the shipping is "free" haha. I still don't feel that great about having to pay $900-1000 for one (the 3.27 seems about $100 less than the SS 3.73) We are getting close to the price of a whole new one (I think around 1400-1500).

I would think I could recoup some of the cost by selling my 2.77 gear, but I doubt I will get much more than maybe $250-300, if it even sells. The 2.77s on ebay they supposedly want about $350-500 for, but for some reason they can sell those and I never have good luck selling anything on ebay thats common or not in demand.

Since 2019 all Camaros come with limited slip differentials.

I don’t know about that...

Can’t find any source that says and haven’t seen any changes mentioned in GM Authority’s posts

GMA isn’t always up to date, best to go right to the Camaro brochures available for download. According to those brochures all Camaros since 2019 have LSDs. They made LSDs standard to better compete with the Mustang.

Very interesting, thanks for correcting me. I’ll take a look and update the OP


Edit: I talked with a few people that know more then me and they say it’s the same. The reasoning is it’s standard shown for the trim (1LS/1LT) but it means standard for M6, not the A8. I’ll try to do more digging and ask around but am pretty sure it hasn’t changed for 2019 unless someone with a 2019+ A8/A10 LS/LT car can chime in with the part number or confirmation

I want 'em in my std SS!

On a related note, I don't see the differential ratio for the automatic SS1LE in the table. I'm thinking it is probably the same as the a10 ZL1/ZLE. Can't imagine they would create a unique elsd for the SS1LE, especially considering how close the final drive ratios are between the std and elsd auto trans diffs.

I don’t think so. The 2019+ brochures use the same formatting and layout as earlier brochures, and those earlier brochures indicate that the LSD is included only on manual transmission drivetrains. There is even a footnote that explicitly states the LSD is only available with the manual.

Then from 2019 onward, brochures show the LSD as a standard feature on all trims. No exceptions, no footnotes.

I've just finished my swap :-) Took 3.27 diff from 3.6 MT and installed on my 2.0 AT. I've also flushed it two times and put a new oil + additive.

How does it drive now? Noticeable difference? I might do the same in the future to my LT1 V8. Curious if 1st and 2nd gears become too short.

This was a very respectable project, congrats I'm also interested in the driving experience, how much different is it from stock?
