'02 WRX tranny questions
 

I have the opportunity to purchase the tranny and rear diff from a friend. first of all will this work? Second of all what exactly do I need besides the diff, tranny, and the small items related to the clutch?

Lucky you! It will work but I will let others tell you what else you will need in addition to those parts. How much is he selling them to you for?

Not yet determined. They only have 45k miles on them. I'm hoping to get them for $500

Wow! What a bargain! :) :cool:

Anybody local want to help me? Or does anybody know of a shop that's local? I will pay them for their services ( hint, hint, subafreak ;) )

Great choice! :D You'll need the tranny, clutch, starter, pedals and crossmembers from the WRX. You will not need the rear diff as it's the same ratio as the SVX.

David,
Since it comes up a lot, maybe you can add complete lists of parts necessary from all the different options (ie:WRX/2.5rs/Forster) for the swap on the iw page, it might make things eaiser for those considering doing the swap to know ahead of time what is needed from what vehicle/vehicles

what is the formula for calculating the speed for a car in different gears at different speeds? I really like the fact that while on the highway the 4EAT cruises along quietly at 80MPH at around 2750RPM. What would the WRX's rpm's be at at 80mph

I think it's pretty universal. Only the WRX tranny uses the same rear diff as the SVX I believe.

I should also add that the shifter w/linkages and boot can come from the donor as well. (I always forget that one)

3000RPM...the lowest of all the Subaru manuals.

Here is what he has: Tranny, tranny mount, clutch, clutch slave?, hubs, flywheel, and pressure plate. He does not have the pedals, or starter. Are those going to be the only two items that I will need to purchase?

What if I just got the Group N tranny mount?

Clutch Master

That's it? What about a place to do it? Labor time?

To make things easier you'll probably want Subafreak to manufacture a crossmember for you.
