Swapping in a 5 speed HLSD trans

Hey maxima enthusiasts,
I am taking the plunge and converting my 2000 GLE with a 4AT into a manual. I found a 2001 SE with the LSD 5 speed in a nearby junkyard and am going(hopefully tomorrow) to pick everything up. I have searched around and haven't found a parts list for swapping in a transmission with LSD I am fairly certain my GLE (that I recently inherrited and have only driven once) has ABS. I will need the driver's side axle right?

So could someone list what I will need to have The LSD. Also do you think I will be able to fit it in my 7th gen Civic Sedan? I have a hitch for it, so I can grab an open Uhaul trailer if needbe.


Thanks in Advance

Sorry if I should have searched harder.

Frankie

it's vlsd, not hlsd just so you know.

yes you'll be able to fit it in your civic. it'll weigh about 105lbs just so you know, and will likely be dirty, and have residual gear oil in it which may leak out so i would suggest getting a largish rubbermaid bin, or at least the top of one, to put the trans on in your trunk so that you don't ruin your trunk carpet.

there's a couple how to's on the swap on here. they will list all the parts you'll need.
