I was thinking on doing the 4.44 swap this summer sometime, and I was wondering if the front diff on the 96-97 Legacy 2.5 will fit along with the rest (tranny, rear diff etc).

My other option will be to get a new tranny. Anyone know of one available, and if they include the front diff? Thanks all for your help
I just read this thread, and I was worried that might be the case. The front diff on my old Legacy went bad, and the clicking did, in fact, sound like a bad axle. I even bought a new axle and tried to replace it, but was very surprised when part of the diff came out with the axle when I tried to remove it.

The moral of the story is: if you get clicking in a straight line, have your transmission looked at.
