The car Ill be installing it into is my 1998 Impreza L wagon, 2.2 w/ 4eat. Checked build code thru dealer and multiple web postings and found it was 4.11. The diff I got the donor diff from was a 1991 legacy ss, from my findings this vlsd unit only came in 3.90, but I spun it a few times and I kept creeping a hair over 4 turns. So I pulled the cover 37/9 stamped on the gear. It's a version 1 vlsd. I purchased new cover gasket, seals and proper axles (91 legacy)

How do I post a pic? The VA diff was used on some of the brighton models and unfortunately in my L model. if you google impreza diff you will find a picture of one sitting next to a legacy r-160. They aren't very common. I want to install a VLSD unit from an older legacy SS

I have a 1998 impreza w/ the VA type diff, and would like to swap it to the T-style diff. I have hours of searching in, but can't find any real solid info on the VA diffs! Other then uncommon and undesirable lol

Well..... I went to do my rear diff swap, purchased the correct axles, double checked gear ratios and put the car up. Once the car was in the air I noticed my Impreza L has got the VA style rear diff : ( (like the brighton), can I swap the T-style diff in anyways? I researched it and it was saying something about it binding or being incorrect. And since I'm here- foolish of me but, are the input flanges the same on both diffs? I should have checked when it was up in the air.... Duh!

You Da Man, thank you very much!! I kinda got stuck with this lego diff when I was sourcing a CLSD for my old loyale, very happy I can finally put it to use! Thanks again

Unfortunately my Imp is an auto w/ 4.1 gear ratio (checked build sheet through dealer, listed 4.1 gear ratio), so will I just need a set of lego rear axles? Any difference in length? p.s- thx for quick reply!

I have a VLSD rear diff from a early 90's Legacy ss (4.1 ratio, w/stub shafts) and would like to install into my 98 impreza. My Impreza has the male axle shafts on diff side. Can I swap to legacy axles or build a hybrid axle w/ lego inside cv joints attached to the impreza axles? Any help would be great Thanks, Pat
Can the VA diff and T-style diff interchange?
in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVX

Here is a picture of the va style diff. Used to save weight I do believe 8lbs lighter!!! That is one extra airbag at no vehicle weight expense!!
