Do I just have to get a diff that matches that model of car and swap the ring and pinion gear or the entire diff. I have the 1996 svx LSI model. What about the lsd rear... I don't know if my car is lsd or not. If so do I have to worry about loosing that. Or just get a diff from a wrx with lsd? Here are a couple of links to the transmissions that I am interested in. Please help me figure this out... I need my car back!!!!!
I love this car.

Just about any Phase I suby trans will work which is the autos from 91-98 I believe- not sure exactly what years-The one you're looking at is a Phase II which bolts up, yes but the wiring will not work.
You also need to get the matching rear differential from the donor car and swap in the LSD from the SVX rear differential.
