Carlex the differential unit will bolt right in, however the gear ratio is different for the automatic cars (3.3 for the autos and 3.5 for the manuals) An auto diff will kill the acceleration in your 6-speed car.

Not if you strap on two turbos....
OP i did the swap for my 6mt to the 5mt 3.3FD. If you plan to stay NA it may kill your acceleration but you will get better MPG which is what a sports car is meant for.

I would think this would require a rebuild since the AT diff is larger.
