GLCraig Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 nope that one has the 3.70 grear ratio and you're forester needs a 4.444 gear ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudrat79 Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 You can however convert it to work with your 4:444 gears in the rear diff though..... Do a search for LSD conversions in the Archives..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thermalsurfing1 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 will it work in a 83 gl wagon ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baccaruda Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 an 83 GL wagon has a 3.9 ratio. The 3.9 gear can be put on that LSD to make it a 3.9. To make it a 4.11 or 4.44, the center section has to be modified to accept the larger bolts that the 4.11 and 4.44 gear require. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloyale Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 VLSD do not work well in offroaders. Do not lock under low speed applications. They work great from MOST offroading. I.E. Mud, snow, sand, gravel roads. The one place where they are not as good as a clutch pack is rock crawling. I spend more time in mud and snow than rock crawling and the VLSD works great for that. That is why the VLSD is used in the newest and best Subies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
