Huck369 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I'm working on one of my Daughters 2010 Impreza 2.5, 5-Speed Wagon the clutch style center diff is bad, I have a 98 Impreza Parts 5-Speed, which uses the gear type center diff, and I was wondering if anyone has replaced the newer "clutch Style, with an older "Gear Style" center diff...... It'd be nice to be able to use the parts I have laying around instead of buying a new Clutch Style center diff ($465).... So if anyone has done this, I'd like to hear about it.... Thanks!

Numbchux Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Functionally it's virtually identical (both still have spider gears and a viscous LSD). But the bearings and transfer gears changed considerably between phase 1 and phase 2 It should be possible to swap between them, IF you swap the housing and everything with it. I did it once to go the other way, to use a Group N phase 2 diff on a phase 1 Type R transmission for a rally car. It wasn't easy, but it was possible.

Huck369 Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 The rear housing was busted on the parts tranny, so that's not an option currently, but thanks for the info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
