swapping s4 gxl auto diff into my s5 n/a

i have a line on an lsd diff out of an s4 gxl.... but it's an auto, which means 3.90 gears. will it bolt up to my stock driveshaft/halfshafts, if i just swap over the 4.10 ring gear from my s5 (5spd) diff?

take the LSD out from the rearend, and put it into your rearend. Then you have a 4.1 r&p with an LSD unit.
