Hi All

I'm installing a SubaruGears reversed 4wd gearbox with a 4.86 ring and pinion into my Australian syncro which has the 5.43 R&P's.

Does anybody have a good used front diff 4.86 ring and pinion set they would like to move on or know where to get one. Any help is much appreciated, its the last piece I need to complete the install.

Many thanks, Uwe

Hi Uwe,

Did you already asked in German forums?

If you want, I can ask a few friends back home if they have got something available.

Regards from Melbourne,

Arne

Hi Arne

No I haven't asked in the german forums, btw I'm also in Melbourne.

I currently have a lead on one in the US pending a diff tear down and inspection over the xmas holidays so I should know soon.

If you know of a set in Germany, please let me know.

Hey Uwe,

Just placed an ad in the German Forum. I'll let you know when something pops up. I recon you don't need a diff lock?

Where about in Melbourne are you?

Regards Arne
