6spd swap started
I started my six speed swap finally yesterday.. Got the rear end done and installed minus axle nuts. Here are some pics
Center concole removed Empty rear end R180 rear with driveshaft flange removed and R160 with Flange still on Removing the R160 Flange to put on the R180 rear diff. The mounting studs that go out the back of the rear diff were too short on the R180 so I swapped the studs with the ones from the stock R160. The R160 mounting bolts are on the left and the stock STi ones are on the right The rear going up into the car

I believe it has to do with the DCCD?

yes thats just a temperature sensor... You can swap over the plain drain plug if you please. Bobby make sure you get those axles clipped into the rear diff as well as the front

A question do the current lot of 6 speeds with the R180 diffs have a 1:1 or 1.1 : 1 transfer ratio. It seems I am being told that they all had 1.1 :1 which I don't beleive to be true? I need to know to check the read diff ratio.
