the 3.454:1 diffs

Featured Replies

I knew I threw one of these out with its PT 4WD 3 speed auto

 

Now realised I have tossed another Vortex turbo FWD !

 

At that stage did not want fwd and only wanted the casings for a single range awd box 

Having now driven fwd for some time now know I tossed a rare thing. Good highway diff :(

What?

Subaru never used a 3.454 diff

They use 3.545 in the SVX and some newer models

 

pretty sure  a PT4WD 3AT would use a 3.70

In the ea82 cars per the service manual both the 3at and the 4eat used behind turbo engines had 3.454 front diffs. All others used 3.70 or 3.90 diffs. I made the mistake of using a turbo 3at in a nonturbo car and it almost killed me when I put it in 4wd on the snow.
