V6 A6 LSD options? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I have been researching ways on changing the open diff to an LSD unit. All the 6ers I have seen are going the SS replacement route, but for me shipping all of the necessary pieces to where I live is nearly impossible and will cost more than double in the end.

My questions is: Are there any companies out there that make a limited slip differential that will fit in my stock case?

It's not that I am missing out on burnouts, but my car is a year round daily driver and on snow/ mud or other different surfaces I am tired of going nowhere with one wheel pathetically spinning in vane.

Me too I have a 2011 A6. a manual V6 has the LDS can you swap that into the auto diff

Nothing exists because it would be a giant waste of money. Smaller ring gear, horrible axles, and tiny posi in an overweight car would grenade something no matter what you added. Sometimes the aftermarket not building something is them getting it right, not wrong.

swap the diff,axles,and the rear section of the driveshaft to a V8 car(manual or Auto),you can also go with a V6 manual setup.

All you need is the 1LS V6 M6 diff.

Thanks for your feedback. My problem is I can't afford to have big bulky parts shipped to where I live from the states, I was hoping there was a replacement LSD for the differential's internals, and something small enough to fit in a suitcase...

Negative, gotta do a total swap. Pumpkin, axles, rear half of driveshaft. It'd be one big heavy ass suitcase.
