Itll fit but you might have driveshaft clearance issues. Manual non abs guys sometimes have issues with their drive shafts being to long as the abs / r200v equipped cars drive shafts where shorter. Since the auto shafts longer still, it may be an issue, or if you have enough play, it may not...

I think might try to locate a manual transmission and add a LSD? Does anyone know where I can find a manual transmission for a reasonable price.

I think you might be confused...

the VLSD is not part of or related to the transmission... it is the DIFFERENTIAL. You can have either manual or auto and still have the VLSD. The only problem you will have with driveshaft lengths is if one car (the donor or yours) has ABS and the other doesn't. The transmission will not affect the swap at all.

Hey Structure240SX, how much are you selling your VLSD for?
