subiemech85 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 is there a run down of all 200 and later Subies (all models) with 5MT that have a rear LSD?

bratman18 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 2000-2001 2.5RS had LSD rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edrach Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 It would help to know whether it was LSD (clutch disk type) or viscous VLSD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpiereck Posted January 7, 2009 Author Share Posted January 7, 2009 I'm just curious about dropping a LSD in my Forester... 5MT, 4.111:1 if I'm not wrong (correct me if I am). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I had a 2000 Forester S Premium it came with LSD but it was an auto, I don't know the ratio of the rear diff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnceggleston Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) I had a 2000 Forester S Premiumit came with LSD but it was an auto, I don't know the ratio of the rear diff. i'm pretty sure of this info for legacys and foresters, but not 101%. so please comment. imprezas should be similar. if you have a 2.5L auto it's a 4.44 rear diff if you have a 2.5 manual, or a 2.2 auto (95-00) you have a 4.11 rear diff. if you have a 2.2 manual (95-00?) you have a 3.9 rear diff. (except, 96 2.2L manual outback, it has the 4.11 rear diff. -edited 1/9/09) some time around 01, lsd's were optional on outbacks, manual and autos, a couple of years later, lsd's were standard on outbacks. they are often referred to as 'locking'. the housings for the rear diffs (95 - 05 probably 09?) are all interchangeable, find an lsd from an '03 and bolt it in. granted it will be a viscous lsd, but what kind of diff are you driving now. you can confirm the lsd outback year at www.cars101.com . i can feel the supply of lsd's shrinking as i write this. have fun.

edrach Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 If you have a manual transmission and can read the ID number on it (or off the VIN plate), check the transmission chart in the USRM to see what the rear end ratio is. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=76617 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferret Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 If your looking onto the Forester, any 2000 - 2008 non-turbo 5mt S, XS or premium came with a rear LSD with the final drive of 4.111. Those same models with an automatic had a rear LSD with a final drive of 4.44. Also all 2004-2008 turbo's used the 4.44 rear whether automatic or 5mt.

Mine is a 2008 2.5X Sports, does that mean it has an LSD? It doesn't feel like it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferret Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 The X sport base does NOT have a rear LSD. According to the specs the X sport base also doesn't have the all weather package ( heated seats, heated front windshield, outside heated mirrors ). On the Forester they usually packaged the Rear LSD with the all weather package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy FitzGibbon Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 if you have a 2.2 manual (95-00?) you have a 3.9 rear diff. (except, 96 2.2L manual outback, it has the 4.44 rear diff.) '96 2.2 5MT Outbacks are 4.11 ratio as far as I know (mine is). Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
