Attached is a picture of a FWD trans out of an Impreza, we did have one just like this in the racer for a short time. The rear crossmember needed to be modified. But, other than that it fit right in.

The bell housing is covered to the right. The tail or lack of it is to the left in front of the rusty rotor.

Just to clarify, the fuse is NOT supposed to be there for normal operation. In an AWD car the fuse is put in place to disable the AWD and operate the car in FWD. This is done mainly for the purpose of using different size tires (a spare) but can also be used to hide some tranny problems.

I can't wait to see these pics when you get back...

If your svx is claret (Burg) I may have a little history for it.
