You would need the drive shafts that came with the LSD donor box perhaps other things (someone correct me)?

U only need to change the drive shafts if there is a difference in splines ie 25-27 (the two different diameters) others wise of the same that will work

I'd love to do this swap, so I'd need the LSD, the gearbox that had the LSD fitted, and new drive shafts that fit?
I take it you can't just put the LSD in my current gearbox?
