nvu Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Need to weld center diff or replace with a spool locker https://www.google.com/search?q=subaru+rwd+spool 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_freddo Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 You're not the first to attempt this - a google search should easily dig up a how to list of instructions. Either way, spool or weld, it's gearbox opening time, just the rear housing needs to come out to access the centre diff.

idosubaru Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 You didn't say but you must have a manual transmission. "put rear end in" - you sat in the car? what does that mean? Manual trans - you can't do this without modifying the center diff as stated above. The easy way to do it is to find a *failed* center diff since they fail from time to time and they fail to "locked" and they'll do exactly what you want - send power all the time to the front and rear, but since you don't have the front axle installed it'll just spin openly.

Tireman28 Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 Lol yelling. My caps button was stuck on my keyboard at work. I’m sorry guys. I welded the center diff, and welded the rear diff to lock as positive trac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tireman28 Posted May 19, 2018 Author Share Posted May 19, 2018 Yea sir got it shortened up perfect. Y’all are awsome! And yea chirp chirp for sure. Not sure about how that rear diff will hold up though. Kinda nervous. Any tips on what type of fluid to use? Or use a diff heavy duty diff?

idosubaru Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Guys run welded diffs all the time in lifted subarus. In general Subaru rear diffs are stout and never fail normally. Granted they will when subjected to hard use but they’re not junk from the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tireman28 Posted May 19, 2018 Author Share Posted May 19, 2018 Everything works great. Both tires are locked together spinning. Now about a driveshaft. I’d like to run a solid drive shaft. I have a 1998 forester ej25 na automatic in the scarab yard. Is that axle one piece? And will it work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
