WTB R160/R180 clsd
WTB R160/R180 clsd
I need more acceleration for autocross. Anybody got one for sale in a 4.625, or 4.11 or.....?? I have a 3.70 currently. Or what about using the ring and pinion out of a Subie R160 open diff and swapping into the 3.70 lsd??
I've been driving 70's Datsun sedans, wagons, and roadsters almost every day since 1983!

Re: WTB R160/R180 clsd
I have a 70 510 that came with about a 4:56 (Driveshaft turns 4 1/2 times with one rev of wheel} but the rearend growled and when I backed up
and turned sharp, it would clunk and odd noises IS A POSTRACK So I got chance to get a newer posi with 370 gears and is perfect.
I wouldnt put much value on the 456 gear but posi worked great, Have a 240 hp S-2000 engine that turns 9000 rpm so 456 gear was way to low
for me and got rid of 195- 60-13 tires put on 8 inch wide Kumos on 15 wheel still dont slip clutch much or will spin bad. turns 111 mph in 12,61 et
Give me a call probably to expensive to ship unless you are near Brooksville Fl. 352-799-4939

I have an R-160, 4.11 open you can use the ring and pinion from it to swap into your R-169, 3.70 LSD.

Just an update...I used a Legacy 4.44 R160 open diff, my lsd guts and made my own 4.44 lsd. works great.

Re: WTB R160/R180 clsd
What year legacy did you find it from?
Re: WTB R160/R180 clsd
I did a google search, surfed a couple subi sites.
Lots of fluffy info out there' here are some of them;
"The forester XT 5speed is 4.44"
"(sorry it's not more chart-like but this gives year and model 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and reverse, FD and notes)
95-96 US leg 3.545 2.111 1.448 1.088 0.78 3.416 3.9 push clutch
97-99 US OB 3.545 2.111 1.448 1.088 0.871 3.416 4.111 push clutch
99-04? US FOR 3.545 2.111 1.448 1.088 0.78 3.333 4.111 push clutch

"I have an 08 outback 2.5xt limited with a 5mt and it is 4.44 final drive (it's also for sale btw). So, there are USDM subies with a manual trans and 4.44 FD."
"And I thought only auto trannys in the US had the 4.44 FD"
"As I understood it, there were two years of the Forester XT's with 5MT's that had a 4.444 final drive." Actualy years were not mentioned...
And I found this link - good list.

Love people and use things,
because the opposite never works.

Re: WTB R160/R180 clsd
im looking for the same thing.
i have a local to me "subaru only" junk yard. I told him i wanted an r160/r180 with a CLSD with fairly low hears and he told me he had an 04 forester xt.
as far as i can tell that an r160 vlsd with 4.44s. I don't know how i feel about the vlsd so im still looking for an older one, or like someone mentioned, there were a few years where wrx stis got r180 with clsd, but those are $$$$$$$
dunno if i want to give this subaru only JY another shot though, i figure why not, so long as i pop the cover before handing over $ i should be alright.
