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

 

You will be fine to get one 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.

 

AFAIK ion redline trans won't fit.

 

ion redline has the same transmission. don't see why it wont work

maybe that's just what ive assumed. hopefully Powell will comment

 

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

 

Theres only one year i believe its the 04 or 04-05 ion trans that dont work.
