swap v6 open diff to 3.45 LSD - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Just bought a complete rear end cradle with 3.45 LSD diff, axles, hubs and brake backing plates from Midway Mustangs in Davenport Ia. Project is to install in 2011 v6 with open diff. All I need is a drive shaft.

Which one do I need? I understand I can reuse my current front half but need to swap the back half from a v8. Auto or manual?

I also understand that manual v6 used the LSD. Also heard that later model v6 had LSD, What year?

thanks
