Hmmmmm
I'm in very much the same boat as Lee is (or was). My front diff is very toasted. I would be interested in doing the legacy swap but I have 2 problems with that.
1. Since the pinion gear is a part of a long shaft that runs through to the rear of the transmission, would a legacy pinion have the same dimentions for the shaft? The other end of the shaft has a gear bolted on it that is driven by the other shaft in the transmission (the main shaft). The other gear drives the clutch pack that powers the rear wheels. ( a lot of info I know) My point is if the pinion gear/shaft isn't just right, there could be problems.
2. I need better instructions on how to align the ring and pinion to each other. I did it myself last time and it seems like that's why it wore out again.
If anyone can help me out with these 2 issues, I'd be happy to try to be the first with Legacy differentials. I would also need to know what year/model of Legacy transmission would supply the correct differentials.
Tahnks,
Jay
