Recommendation would be to go back to the stock SVX 4HEAT or go with a 4.44 set up (will obviously require new gears in the rear diff). Lots of folks successfully running around with the 4.44 set up. The only tricky part is getting the rear diff set up correctly (backlash, etc.).

Yeah, I regret not getting the 4.44. I read on another thread while I was looking for a donor transmission that legacys had the 4.44, but I figured out that was incorrect after I had already bought my 4.11. It's the 2.5 GT and outbacks that have the 4.44.... Now I know.
I think I'll take your suggestion about installing a 4.44 this time. I really just need my svx to be reliable now. Might as well make it faster around town

As for the rear diff, how do you set it up correctly? And what happens if it's not done right?
