i REALLLLY want to keep my 4.44 gears!
but i also want to swap in a 5mt!
i figure the 5mt from something OTHER than a WRX would be the way to go...i understand that the WRX has the front step-down gearing (or step-up?)...
but that the other 5mt's do not?
(i'm thinking legacy turbo donor car...unless there is a better non-wrx alternative?)
the question is:
can i yank the front pinion from my 4eat (4.44) and install it (with the rest of the front diff) into a 5mt?
indeed...will the 4eat diff even fit in a 5mt at all?
or..........
is there a better way for me to achieve 4.44 final drive with a manual transmission?
just wondering.....
