Center Diff ID - without tearing apart the tranny?

Post by BXSS »

I have a JDM WRX tranny that has an LSD Front diff, & after looking @ it I'm thinking the center diff may have been swapped out too.

Will taking off the gold cover on top of the tranny (4 x 12 or 14mm bolts) allow me to peak inside the center diff area safely?

I don't think it would.

I have a tranny torn apart if you want me to take a look.

Just let me know exactly what dimension you want and I'll go get it.

Well, if you remove the plate you could probably kinda see the center diff, but there's a bit of stuff in the way.

I took some measurements of my center diff, then realized I only took OD measurements instead of ID..... D'oh.

Thanks for the reply.
I'm just hoping to be able to see the general appearance & brand name (or lack there of) on the center diff, I don't really need any dimensions.
