Would it be possible to swap the 3.73 diff into a V6 1LE?
I can't seem to find any documentation online to compare part numbers, so I am curious if anyone thinks it is possible to take the 3.73 rear end and put it in a V6 1LE?
I'm basing this thought off 2 things: 1) The V6 1LE already grabs the 3.27 rear end from the SS w/ the V6 1LE package. If the SS can upgrade to the 3.73 in their SS 1LE package, maybe there's some kind of A=B=C scenario? 2) There's the thread where the guy upgraded his normal V6 A8 rear end up to the 3.73 with what seemed like a straight-forward process (except the HPTuner issues). If it can bolt straight up to regular A8, would it also bolt up to the M6 that comes on the V6 1LE? I realize there would obviously have to be tuning and redone mappings for ABS and traction issues, I'm just curious if this would actually be mechanically possible.

mechanically yes. you number 1 answered it really. I swapped from the v6 2.77 open non LSD to the SS 2.77 LSD. mounting is the same for all the diffs so far. and the axles are interchangeable as well. the old v6 non LSD diff can fit the SS axles, which you should have already (driver side big, pass side small). check the last page of my member journal in the members journal forum.

if you change ratios from X to Y (2.77 to 3.XX or similar) then you have to adjust for it in a tune. the computer controlled aspects will account only for whatever came stock. stuff that monitors/controls ABS, launch control for those that have it, traction control-acceptable slip with wheel speed, etc.

Hmm, so way easier if you just need/want the limited slip. Don't all 6th gens have the "Competitive Mode" launch control too? Same as everyone having No Lift Shift I thought. |

The SS 1LE dont option the 3.73 rear, it comes standard with the 1LE package. If you are going to use a 3.73 rear make sure it is a regular SS 3.73 diff, dont get the 1LE rear diff as you wont have a way to control the eLSD in order to make the lock up in the diff work.

Yup I was talking about my car being the V6 1LE, not referring to the SS 1LE rear diff, just the regular 3.73. Apologise if there was any confusion. |

Not all have it. You may have it as a v6 due to the 1le package. Mine just has sport, track, and snow/ice

So Polynesian what happens when you put it in sport/track, hit the traction button twice, and then peg the throttle? Does it not switch over to "Competitve Stabilitrak" and hold the throttle at a specific RPM for launch control?

Hit the button once, you get one orange light stabilitrak or traction. Hold it down for the second push and both stabilitrak and traction light up. Doesnt state any mode, although ypu having a manual may be a factor, but also the 1le package has different modes than reg autos.
