Does anybody know if there is a difference in the AT (non-lsd) and MT (lsd) differential housings (series 1)?

I am not talking about the gears, lsd, or final drive ratio -- just the housing.


To simplify: Will an AT "open" differential housing bolt into an MT RX8 without modifcation or change to other driveline parts?



Thanks in advance. Sorry if this has come up before, I could not find it.

Please don't ask why or tell me that this is a stupid idea. Just looking for the facts.

 

Looks like the differential housings are the same:

 

Thank you.

 

Yup, bolts right in.
Watchya doing? Icant help but be curious!

Yep..Identical OE Part Numbers

 

Weld that bitch up and go drift!!! Thanks for the info.

 

Nothing too crazy, Stephan. I have a bin of different final drive r&p's that I have collected.. So i decided to put together a few pre-prepared rear ends (4.10, 4.30, 4.44, 4.77) for kind of a "semi-quick change" at different tracks. Local yard has a great selection of rear end housings, but areall auto non-locking. Just wanted to make sure everything used the same axles/driveshaft ect., before doing the work.


Thanks for the info, everyone.
