Swap auto and manual final drive gear sets
The manual transmission final drive ratio is 3.538:1 and the auto ratio is 3.357:1. Question for those out there with experience working on real axles. Do you think these gear sets might be interchangable? Bear in mind that the manual rear drive is on some models an LSD.

Yes, they will probably be interchangeable. I'm really hoping that other Nissan diff's will fit in there too. Specifically a 4.08 rear end out of a 300ZX N/A, 240SX, or J30. They put higher gears in the auto to achieve the same gas mileage as the manual.

I would think that older gearsets from earlier series would not be.
the final drive ration is the gear in the rear differential... the overall gear ratio is the transmission gear ratio times the final drive ratios..... 0.77 times 3.538 for instance in top gear. Not sure I have the 6th gear ratio correct here.
