WRX diff question

[sicksubie]

I just picked up a '03 WRX tranny, seats, and steering wheel for $550 off of nasioc . The tranny does not have 1st gear but that will be taken care of shortly. My question is now what rear diff do I look for because I read something in Huck's write-up about needing a specific rear diff with the bolts on the sides?

Don't you just use the orignal 3.5 diff with the WRX box?

Right. Keep the stock SVX rear diff with the WRX tranny.

el stocko diffo the wrx tranny has reduction gear 1.1:1 so it keeps the same diff as the svx.

thats great.... I thought that I had to swap that out too. I just checked another item off the list of things I need for the swap.

Did you get it from the guy I was talking to?? He wanted $300 for the trans because of a busted 1st gear?? Well... I have a deal to strike up with you if not... PM me about the X-member and maybe we can make something work

I did, I think. I waited until you said that it was too far though. What's the deal?

[TomsSVX]

I was gonna say, if you would get that trans and bring it down here I would give you the X-member for free... I really wanted that to rebuild but didn't have the time to get up there

I don't think I can do a drive to Philly. I only paid 250.- for the tranny and it's of more value than an x-member. I leave for India in two weeks and have a ridiculous amount of stuff to do between now and then. I barely have enough time to make my trip to get the tranny and seats that I bought.
