Has anyone tried to replace the standard differential in an auto sedan with one of the limited slip units from a 6 speed???

 

i believe you need the 3.5 ring and pinion and it should work.

 

I have one already. I am still gettin round to it. make me an offer at seannolden@frontiernet.net

I am still debating whether to install it or by the kaaz clutch type lsd

 

That is correct and it's not all.

In order to install a M/T viscous core into a A/T open diff not only to you have to purchase the ring and pinion gearset for a M/T diff which will run $500, but you also must purchase new $150 each LSD stub axles as your open diff stub axles cannot be used. Add in the $400 cost for the labor to have it done, and your looking at a very high price. Buying a used sealed pumkin with everything already installed makes the most sense, since you can now locate them pretty readily and for around $500.

I did a oem VLSD swap using a viscous core that had showroom floor miles on it. Even though I only paid $100 to buy the core, the cost of the LSD axles and the cost of labor ment I ended up spending $900 when I was done, given the lackluster performance of the oem VLSD, I might as well had stuffed $900 in a shoe box and buried it in my backyard. And I don't even track my car.

 

Sorry to hear it didn't work out as well as expected. Good info though.
Better to just get a 3.5 FD for my AT.

 

dont' get the SLIP diff......i have to turn if off everything i am driving my car .....
