I'm pretty sure you can use a trans without LSD.

Fairly certain the Ion transmission doesn't work. Maybe Powell will step in and comment

Yep you're fine. It DOES have to be an f35 trans though from either a cobalt ss (supercharged or turbocharged) saturn ion redline, or turbo hhr ss. 2.2L and 2.4L engines used different bellhousings.

I'm fairly certain the mounting is different on a few of the years
