lsd stands for limited slip differential. It's not it the tranny. And yes, I have heard of people mating a t56 to the 3800, but a wrecking yard will charge upwords of $1200 just for the tranny. I'm not sure how the conversion is done, but I do remember it getting very expensive.

His friend just thinks he would be cool to have six gears to shift. If he wants a manual, he needs to just swap to the T-5.

Unless he has alot of power (and money) it would be pointless to do. I know of someone on another forum who has done it. Well,a speed shopin Houston did it to his car.I wasn't trying to be rude, but there really is no point to having a six speed for your friend right now. If he wants to shift, tell him to swap to the T-5.
