4.44 , 4.11 or stock ? and why ?

[Francis]

the title says it !!

[LetItSnow]

Stock: Fuel economy advantage
4.44: Best kick in the pants
4.11: The balance in between

I totally dig my 4.111s, cos I autocross, but I also drive to the autocrosses... er, and Reading and stuff.

Stock and a QC shift kit w/power mode mod. Unless you're a drag racer this combo has plenty of pep and you still get to cruise at a reasonable rpm. I no longer have a burning desire for 4.44's

I have both 4.44 and 4.11. I never drove stock. I purchased both of my SVXs with bad transmissions. I like the 4.11 better. I guess I like the lower RPM and it has plenty of power.

Question: I currently have a 4.11 tranny out of a wrx sitting around waiting to go in, but I need the rearend still.

Any advice on which to look for? Not many WRX's around here in junkyards, (if any) is there a forester or legacy rearend that would be acceptable?

i have read in the forums .

The Legacy 4EAT is supposed to be closest in strength to the SVX's, so if you go 4.11, get one from a non-turbo Legacy sedan or wagon. It is worth paying extra to get one from a '96-'98 model.

i found all these information , but i found that they weren't enough for me ,that is why i made this thread.
i'm still not 100% confident about switching differential for a smaller gearing.....i would like to have more feeling , but i am doing alot of highway i guess i should go with 4.11 but still , 4.44 would make a big difference ?

4.11 out of a wrx?? Was it mad JDM?? or is it a 5mt that still needs to be mad JDM??

well as i can see not everyone wants to go with differential swap. at least it makes me feel i got the choice !! i'll see what i can do about it ......

somone please post the link to the qc kit. thanks

Is there a better way to rebuild a stock tranny?

[Mensaf]

Level 10 rebuild. It gets pricey though, and you'd probably only want to spend the money if you were going to drive the car till the day rust takes it's life or a nuclear halocaust greets us some random morning.
