will 4eat front pinion fit 5mt?
i REALLLLY want to keep my 4.44 gears!
but i also want to swap in a 5mt! i figure the 5mt from something OTHER than a WRX would be the way to go...i understand that the WRX has the front step-down gearing (or step-up?)... but that the other 5mt's do not? (i'm thinking legacy turbo donor car...unless there is a better non-wrx alternative?) the question is: can i yank the front pinion from my 4eat (4.44) and install it (with the rest of the front diff) into a 5mt? indeed...will the 4eat diff even fit in a 5mt at all? or.......... is there a better way for me to achieve 4.44 final drive with a manual transmission? just wondering.....

Re: will 4eat front pinion fit 5mt?
Subaru did make some AWD 4.44 manual transmissions.
But the overdrive ratio is higher, making them very high winding. This link should help. http://spda-online.ca/modules/tinyco...ite/tc_28.html

Re: will 4eat front pinion fit 5mt?
thanks tom !!
and thanks svxfiles!! ok then...now the question is: which is "better"....a push type clutch? or pull type...? which is easier/more common to source? the tall 5th gear is no biggie....this is for the rally-beastie... so i'll likely not be using 5th gear anyway (if i do, then i'm going WAAAAAAAAAAYYYY too fast !!!) lol

Look in that folder...I think that is the list of manual trannys...and the only US cars with a 4.44 MT is teh turbo Baja, and Turbo Forester.... Your Baja, probably has the same tranny as a RS which has a lower 5th then a standard Legacy 5-speed...

Re: will 4eat front pinion fit 5mt?
I'm going by this chart:
http://74.125.47.132/search?q=cache:...ient=firefox-a Which shows only the Turbo Baja, and Turbo Forester (in the US) got 4.44, all others are either 4.11 or 3.90s....
