The first ever 4.44 GT-FWD
As many of you know, I thought that my flexplate was cracked. But when YT took a look at it, the diagnosis was different. Something in my front(and only) diff was bad. I forget what Tom told me it was, but it was important enough that I needed it done, and quick. The only diff that he had at the shop was a 4.44. Well in about 6hours, YT with the help of a couple people had the bad parts out, and the good ones in.
The price was resonable, something a 17yr old who works 2-3days a week could afford. If you ever need tranny work done in a hurry, then YT is the person to go to. I'm getting my 5Speed done by him sometime next year also, so to be a repeat customer means he does good work. As for the results,z0omg. The difference in the gearing is like night and day. I haven't really got on it from a stop yet, but the acceleration incredibly faster. Of course being a FWD 4.44 there's gonna be wheel spin, but not as much as I thought there would be. I'll have to wait til it rains to really notice the wheelspin

I wish i had done a 4.11 front diff in my car... I don't see why everyone wants to go with the manual... would someone please put a 5EAT in one?

98.5 and later transmissions. These were the VTD style with the spin on filter. It also had a bias of 40/60 front rear split.

I remember because the first 4.44 i picked up had the spin on filter and they were trying to tell me it was the right one

Someone put their name on the 5 speed list I think it was for the 5EAT.... in their new legacy.
I remember someone was trying to get a 5 speed paddle shift like the guy over in Europe converted, but never saw any progress on it.
