Am I able to get an AT 1LE rear end for my 2010 v6? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Search engine on the forum is not working for any browser I use. Keeps coming up with a white blank page after I hit the search button.

Anyhow, I keep coming up via google search with 2013-2015 manual rear differential but none in the AT. I know the 6th Gen has them available but unsure about the 5th Gen.

What do you mean by "AT"? If you are referring to auto trans the 1LE only came with the 6-speed manual and it was first available in '13.

I am referring to the rear differential carrier.

He said trans. I’m not referring to the transmission. I’m talking about the 3.91 gear rear differential with LSD. I am aware of the 1LE manual trans during 2013-15. I am asking if it is possible to get a 2013-2015 1LE rear end to bolt to an auto trans?

No.

The differential housing in your auto V6 is smaller than the differential housing from a 1LE. The manual V6 and all SS (including the 1LE) uses one size housing while the auto V6 uses a smaller size. You will not be able to bolt on a 1LE housing without also swapping out a lot of parts and changing the mounting points.

Not just the driveshaft. Axles, hubs, and other parts as well.

Oh it's definitely possible. Members here have done it as all you have to do is replace most of the drive components with SS parts. It's not really that hard to do either, can be done on jack stands in your driveway. But as you said it comes down to cost. Doing the swap on an Auto V6 is double or even triple the cost of other trims depending on what brands you go with.
