LSD Question
I will make it verey short if this is the wrong section pls Mod. relocate..
I did the Diff swap mine is a manual and i swaped it with an Auto 1 so i get a longer gear ratio.. I wanted to install the LSD for Auto cross events how ever I can only find the manual LSD diff. in ther words the short ratio. Is there an Auto LSD so i can keep the long gear ration?

The LSD is the same for both the 6MT and the auto. The difference is the ring and pinion. The ring and pinion from the auto will bolt to any LSD.

axel stubs (flanges) are different for auto with open diff and 6 m/t. If u have open diff now the quaife atb would work with you flanges, if u have h flanges that come with the oem vlsd, than the nismo or cusco or tomei would work without buying new flanges ($125 each)

Quaife makes a diff for the automatic's.

the diffs are absolutely different between MT and auto cars. As I recall you can install an auto into a manual pumpkin but not vice versa
I know Quiafe does an auto version, so does Cusco - those are the only 2 I know of

AT Quaife may not be available any longer... I know AutoTech (previously Quaife America) no longer carries them... possibly a vendor/dealer might have one in stock but all that I consulted order direct from Auto Tech as needed.

I took some shots this afternoon highlighting the difference between th 3.357 and 3.538 as well as the VLSD and open diffs. I should have them up later this week.
I'm 99.9% sure those are the only two options for the 3.357.
Axle stubs are independent of whether it is a 3.357 or 3.538, they depend on the differential type. Open diff has equal length stubs and VLSD has unequal.

Dont give advice when you clearly have no idea what you are talking about!
Both Quaife and Cusco make LSD's for the auto.

I really hope they don't stop making the A/T version of their diff. That was the diff I was planning on getting in the future for my build project.
