987687 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 why not? people have made 4.44 DR ej transmissions,I have climbed up hills or made it though mud holes that people said was impossible in a car.Impossible just means it hasn't been done yet. The 6speed uses r180 diffs and all the other subaru transmissions use a r160. So they're somewhat swappable. I'm sure with a bunch of machine work a sti front diff could swap in. They're just bigger.

WoodsWagon Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 why not? people have made 4.44 DR ej transmissions. Why try machining a STi 6spd front diff to fit in a 5spd case when you can buy an OBX helical front lsd for under $400? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
