If you have a 4 bolt flange, any MT diff will work and no need to change the flange or driveshaft. I recommend having the differential opened up and checked to see if it has the AT or MT gear and differential, prior to ordering parts. I run the 3.9 rear gear with a Quaife differential and track about once a month. GET A TUNE, because chances are great that you are running lean.

the MT difs are super expensive at the moment and im one willing to put in work to save money, so would the only issue with the AT 3.692 difs be the 3 bolt flange/

If money is tight just get a tune, as Trav said. It will be good, usually the only cars that can easily swap pumpkins are MTs. From my understanding the flanges hold tension and the input shafts may be different, that leads to complete disassembly and the crush spacer needs to be replaced, sometimes several times. If you have no mechanical knowledge on this it's best to stay away. I'm a mechanic for a living and that is a job I'm not willing to do lol.

Also don't you lose some functionality when changing out FDs on AT cars?

I have not yet got it tuned but I want to know where I can go from here mod wise before or after the tune
preferably not FI because it is expensive
you'll need to remove and insert your AT axle stubs into your LSD pumpkin so they match your axle bolt pattern. As far as UpRev tuning in TX ima hand this off

Be sure to check your stubs before jamming it into the rear diff. Not all stubs are interchangeable.
