Couple trans swap questions

former3g · 04-27-2009, 09:57 PM

I have a 2001 RS with a EJ205 swap and stock 5mt drivetrain.

If swapping an '02 WRX trans (w/ RA gears) and stock R160 (3.545) rear from an '02 wrx sedan, can I re use the stock RS shifter & linkage, drive shaft, starter and axles?

I read the stickies, but still confused. I think since my car is an '01, I can re-use the axles

I'm ready to buy the trans, rear and clutch assembly, just need to be sure I don't need anything else. Thanks

starter, prop shaft and shift linkage is the same/bolts up. couple of variations of rs rear shafts depending if LSD.
