Non-LSD to LSD conversion
I have a US model 1995 Maxima SE 5-spd. I however live in Canada and am staring at a tranny replacement right now since mine is busted. All Canadian Maxima SE trannies are VLSD. My question is, when I get a remanufactured tranny from Nissan, can I get a 5-spd VLSD tranny instead of replacing it with the same 5-spd non-LSD tranny?
If so, what other parts, if any do I need? I believe that I will need the driver and passenger side axles as well. Correct me if I am wrong. But are there any other parts that I need? Also, is there anything else involved in the swap?
Thanks for your help guys.
P.S. I will be taking it to Nissan because the tranny shop that I took it to screwed me over last week and hence I was stuck at home all long weekend with no car. (but that's a whole other story)

Hi guys, after talking to Nissan, they were gonna charge me about $700 more more to stick in an LSD tranny... so I just decided to get a regular tranny, that my car had before anyway (US model SE) and maybe I will get Quaife in the future and install it myself.
Thanks for all the help. I HOPE to have my car back this Friday. I have been without it for WAY too long. Please pray for me... lol
