They'll work fine....but it does have the hydralic clutch set-up which is a little more trouble to install than the cable set -up..

I'm not sure about the RS, but most Imp's use a rear diff that is different than ours, so it can't be used to convert our LSD to their gear ratio.

The diff needs to have sideplates held on with 5 bolts. Many Imp's have screw in side plates, similar to the sideplates on the front diff.

Here is a chart that will help determine the final drive of whatever trans you find. If the donor has a screw in sideplate, just get the matching ratio from another car.

The RS uses the same housing as the SVX on the rear diff...I'm pretty sure only the EJ18 Impreza's have the smaller housing...

before I take this on, Im going to see if I can just get out of the car and move on to something else. Basically, im at the budget cap now, and swapping the trans would mean I have to sell that dollar amount out of the interior. Anyway, if it doesnt sell in a week or so the swap is ON!
