Front Diff
Are there any differences in the front diff on the transmission of a 91 Legacy and the 92 SVX besides the TC? PLEASE tell me NO!

Randy, to use a Legacy front diff, you'll also have to use the Legacy Rear diff so the ratio's match..........I think you'd like it with the lower gears in the Evil Twin.

Huck, Are the housings for the differentials the same? I know from your prior posts the guts can be changed.

My problem is this: A bearing in the front diff has apparently gone "wonky" and is causing diff oil to leak into the tranny. I'm looking for a "cheap" fix instead of having to buy an entire NEW TRANNY! CRAP!

Are you certain it's not just the shaft seal in the front pump housing that's leaking? It would still require pulling the tranny and splitting the diff and pump housings.

The "scrubbing" sound that I've been hearing for more than a year (which has gotten louder since the gear oil seeped out), would tend to make me think it was the bearing you indicated to me earlier. Guess I'm going to have to take it to a "specialist." But, since we have none in this neck of the woods, I'll have to settle for a transmission shop.

to tell you the truth randy, i wouldnt feel bad about just selling you the front diff. I cant imagine that there is a market for the actual gear box which is slipping. let me know.
PS thanks alot, im feeling a lot better its just quite swollen. Im very excited for the 5 speed. I decided to pull out all the stops. I have a 2003 forestor with 4.11 diffs and has only 2600 miles on it!!!! Also went with ACT racing clutch and STi TRans mount. Boy oh boy do i dream about it every night! phil
