Hello guys,

In the course of ALOT of research, I'm finding some interesting info pertaining to WRX's. Mainly that not ANY WRX tranny can be bolted up to our rear end.

Specifically, the late 04's-05's have a different type of front output from the front diff - a female output, requiring the male version of the CV axle to be at the side of the front diff. But it's my understand that this can be overcome mearly by using WRX front axles.

A little more interesting is the 06-07 WRX/Imprezza transmissions... they use a different final drive ratio, so you have to swap the rear end over just like the older imprezza/Legacy/outback's. On top of that, they have the funky type of CV axle that the late 04's - 05's have.

I've got a question... anyone put any of these transmissions in thier SVX? Did you use the WRX axles to a successful result?

And the big question - can an 06-07 tranny be used in the SVX by using the front and rear axles, and bolting the rear end up? I think it's silly to put all this money into a transmission with low miles, just to have it go through my 130k miles SVX rear end which is likely to fail.
