Exclamation what do i need to keep for the 4.44....?

i think i have found a 4.44 tranny and rear diff. so what do i need to save off the car that the tranny and diff are comeing off of so that it will fit on my 92 SVX? and also is there anything special that i might need or have to do to make the tranny bolt on right to fit my car?!......

You need to keep your rear diff, you will need to swap out the 4.44's internals into your 3.54 housing while retaining the LSD bits of the 3.54.

You DO get the 4.44 rear diff, and swap the internals into YOUR rear diff.

SVX axles wont mate with a normal 4.44 diff, and the 4.44 diff you are getting does not have LSD.


Swapping the 4.44s rear end into the 3.54 rear end housing and ring gear fixes this problem.

Don't need to replace the front diff, the axles just plug in the 4.44.

Snofrek,

If you don't mind the 3 hour drive, you could bring the car over here to the rainy Willamette valley and hondasucks and I could slap that puppy in there for not too much moolah.
