Fitting live axle LSD to IRS

[underated]

Hi all ive got a really good LSD centre out of a live axle vr commodore diff,my question is can it be fitted to my VR caprice(IRS)diff as I realise the axles have a locking ring which needs to lock into the side gears...

[underated]

Is there anyone thats knows????

No it cant be fitted, the bearing sizes are slightly different, only came accross this when i tried. Cheapest, get vt hsv, or vx ss LSD diff, and change the back covers over and run it. Will Get better gearing and a tough LSD.

The LSD itself can be swapped but you were on the money with your first comment, the IRS needs side gears with the groove in them to retain the axles.
