I made a separate thread in the VIP section for the wagon. This thread is for the RS.
I have next week off so the plan is to get the RS in the garage and drop the trans, then push it into the yard. I'll rebuild the trans at my leisure. So far I've got three. My original in the shed. The one I got from ray which is in the car. And RezPunk has a 4.11 forester box I can have. All three make funny noises. If I can't make a good one from those, Dave has a 4.11 box with a blown diff I can buy. Gabe also has his fxt drivetrain, but he probably wants more than I want to spend.
Hopefully it doesn't snow too much more so I can get the RS into the garage.
