About a year ago I swapped my auto for a M 47 (5 sp.) on my 89, 245. The ratio's for the auto and manual are different. I never bothered to swap rear end on mine. First gear is quick, but short, second gear is a bit longer, third and fourth are nice. They all pull very strong. Fifth gear also pulls strong, even on hills. I've been getting 29-31 (highway) and 25-27 (town). I'm quite happy with the auto's rear end being pushed by the manual.

Yes, as mentioned, Bricks do have LSD available as an option. Two of mine have them, one doesn't.
