Diff swap compatibility check

Hey all, I was wondering if a 3.42 diff out of a 99 FRC will swap to a 01 Auto with 3.15 rear. I did a search but didn't see an answer to my question. I know it's not a big change but I'm not looking for to much.

Thanks
Frank

It swap in no problem, you'll just have to update the shift parameters.

And you need to swap a plate from your Auto diff to the 3:42 out of the FRC.
