Subject:Re: re cut ring&pinion to allow subie transaxle install

If you're talking about the pic on the home page, it appears that the upper
piece is angled up or towards the camera and the lower piece is angled
down/away, creating the appearance of different lengths.
Is this only for manuals, or does Subaru use the same transaxle for both
trannys?
Cya,
Robert

Interesting (though there seems to be length disparity between the
standard versus reverse-cut pinion).
