[eltigre11]

Well i have a 92 svx and for ome reason the people that gave it to me told me that their mechanic made the car 2 wheel drive only getting power from the back wheels. i took the front differential out and the transmission as well. the pinion gear i think it's called that comes from the tranmission half of the teeht on it are broken. Pleaase i need help i live in florida and the only junkyard i found in florida that has a svx wants $1000 for the trasmission and they won't sell me the pinion gear by itself. is there anyway i can get it by itself? froma subaru dealer or something?? help will be really appreciated.

I have been watching your post from way down under all day and am unhappy that you have not received assistance, as there must be a member who has access to the item you require. I suggest you post again within the wanted to buy section. Money may talk.

P.S. I have posted on your behalf and hope you will receive a reply. If not scream.

I need the same parts as well, but don't have the $$ yet to buy the parts.

I have a stock front differential for sale. Another option is to use a transmission out of a more commonly found Impreza or Legacy. You will need to swap out the rear differential to a matching ratio as the SVX is one of the few Subaru's with a 3.545 final drive ratio.

Depending on the junkyard prices, this may be a more cost effective option. Do some searching around and you'll find all the information you need to do a swap like that.

If you are still interested in the front differential, I do have the complete unit. Case, carrier and pinion shaft. Send me a PM.

unfortunately, I do not have any more good front differentials. Also, DO NOT try and replace just the pinion. The ring & pinion are matched sets that cannot be mixed, or else you will have another differential failure shortly after.

The transmission is good, if i find a front differential and a pinion gear of another transmission could that work?
