then use the 4.11. decide now. If you want to go lower ratio, get them to rebuild it with the 4.11 front diff, and fit the 4.11 in the svx rear.

Honestly I think the rebuild, by them, well make a bullet proof box. The SVX box has a stronger high clutch and better AWD than the four cylinder boxs.

Harvey.

Option 3 is the easiest and simplest option, yes the 96-97 EAT is a "plug and play" box for it, and the Legacy TT has the same stronger high clutch as the SVX, and the lower final drive will make it easier on the tranny too (plus a 4.44 SVX is WAY more fun to drive ) you will still have to install a 4.44 ring and pinion into the rear diff too, but the driveshaft should be the same.

Granted I'm not down under, so I'm not as sure of the differences in the trannys down there....but either way installing another auto is the easiest fix, plus you get the added performance of the lower ratios.

Just my thoughts on it....
