This is my attempt to convert from Subaru AWD to 2WD tranny using their own internals. So…! I pulled the engine out and I’m going for a Subaru tranny.  I pulled out the transmission cover and removed the differential.  I put the whole differential in a flat surface and make 2 tag welds to fix in position the whole differential.   I did a test fit on the transmission, to be sure that the gears did not moved during the tag welding. Did the necessary measurements to cut the differential. Then proceeded to cut the differential (had to pullout the bearing first).  |

Cool!
I know there is a company in aussie that sells this as a kit. Good stuff but not cheap. Can't remember the name of hand. Keep the pics coming and explain to the unwashed masses why you have to do this. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Sorry Mark... the Subaru trans shifts like a modern car with much less throw distance than the 901. With an MR2 or Honda 5spd shifter it'll be like jumping into a new car. The Subaru trans ratios are well matched to the power of the engine except in this case the EG33 was much higher geared for the final drive being that it was in an SVX. They'd do 150 off the showroom floor... no shit. This trans will be spinning like a top at the 7k rev capability of this engine but it's still a better match with replacement parts galore. All in all it's a win/win for his 914 and his driving pleasure. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
