      Are you swapping just the gears or the entire rear end?

          y not buy the LSD and do them together? Plus, someone correct me if I'm wrong (kinda new), but right now you have a 2series carrier and for 3.42 you need a 3 series carrier.

            if you have a auto no... if you have a M5 yes

            you have to buy a new carrier, just get the LSD and grears from the trasam.....

                      yes the carrier is the rear end, its 2 or 3 seiries, open or LSD.

                              yes that will work, long as its 10.5 inch LSD for F-body they will work together, but i would have it installed buy a pro or your gears will make noise
