Re: lsd swap?
You would need the drive shafts that came with the LSD donor box perhaps other things (someone correct me)?

Re: lsd swap?
U only need to change the drive shafts if there is a difference in splines ie 25-27 (the two different diameters) others wise of the same that will work
gotta get there one day :)

Re: lsd swap?
I'd love to do this swap, so I'd need the LSD, the gearbox that had the LSD fitted, and new drive shafts that fit?
I take it you can't just put the LSD in my current gearbox?
