Left CV axle from an 01 5spd anniversary ed.

I have a 99 SE with the stock 5spd (VLSD Canadian spec). My driver's side axle boot has been torn since I bought it.
After a year of visits I finally found a 5spd at the junk yard but it's an SE Anniversary ed. From my research the AE SE came with a VLSD right? Couldn't find the badge on the firewall to confirm the tranny part #...
My question is will the axle fit on my car which has the VLSD

No. Not interchangeable. If I were you I would grab the LSD tranny

My tranny is a VLSD (as far as I know). Sorry if I wasn't clear on that (edited my first post now). The # is RS5F50V.
(Canadian spec, I am from Canada).
Although I don't need the whole tranny, you think it would be worth grabbing as a spare? There are no "enthusiasts" from my area so I couldn't buy to sell it.

not trying to thread jack, So will the axles from the 00-01 5th gen fit the 4th gen auto as long as the 5th gen is automatic? Saw a guy selling both for $80.

if the price is right on that trans and you've got the cash you might consider snapping it up. they are really rare.

Thanks for that, $125 the wrecker charges for transmissions. I may do it but it's so darn cold.
Is there any trick to reading the odometer on the car? I don't think they'll let me bring in a car battery.
