Is FWD front diff the same as AWD front diff

Just bought my first SVX. It's a 94 FWD with a bad front diff. I have a AWD trans from a 95 Legacy 2.2.
Are the front diffs interchangeable?

Thanks Jeff

the legacy has a different gearing ratio, but the transmission should fit, however I'm not sure if just the differential will fit

Yes, the front differentials are interchangable. You will replace the 3.70 gears in the FWD SVX trans with the 4.11's out of the legacy trans

Can I just use the AWD trans and front diff and take off the tail shaft and put the tail shaft cover from the FWD trans on the AWD trans?

Yes you can and it is much easier, I was under the assumption that the AWD trans was bad w/ a good diff and the other way around for the FWD trans.

That would be great!!!

After I take the tail shaft housing off, what else has to come off the back off the AWD trans so that the FWD rear cover fits?

Thanks Jeff
