Looking at a used 02 WRX 5-spd. I know the gear is different from our 4.44 gear, but is there anything else? Where would I look? Might make a good core to slap some better gears into if it'll bolt on. I vaguely remember that Subaru changed to a wider gearset at some point but I don't know when that was.

The FXT rear end was redesigned to be lighter and stronger.

I know the ratios are different but if you're changing gears, it don't matter. Don't know how they would match up to the 2.5 and the 4.44. NASIOC has a sticky with tranny ratios in the driveline forum.

The FXTs OXT and LGT have wider cut gears like the old STI ra trannies. Thats why they are considered reinforced over the wrx tranny.

Why are you putting a wrx tranny in your XT?

I just want the core if I can stick PPG gears into it.

Ah that makes sense.

I thought they went to a 4.11?
