W5M332WMXL JDM trans help

[dsmmike50t]

I've always known something was up with my car because it wobbles in the rain at highway speeds and pulls to left/right on a hard second gear pull, but thanks to another dsmers help I finally identified my transmission. The id tag reads w5m332wmxl. I looked around and found out this is a transmission of a lancer 4wd and the final drive is 3.909 and its not compatible because the rear wheels will spin differently. A stock 2g talon has a transmission with a 3.545 final drive.

I put this trans in 2 years ago because my last one blew. How many options do I have besides pulling this trans and replacing it with a non jdm one.

Does anybody know if the rear dif off a 4wd lancer will fit a 2g or is there some way to upgrade the internals of my rear diff to match this transmission.

You will need at the minimum, a good front differential ring gear and output shaft pinion gear from a 2G AWD. You will need to count the teeth on the front diff ring gear to confirm also; should be 58 teeth, but I will need to check to confirm.

Along with these parts, your transmission builder will need to replace the tapered roller bearings on the output shaft, reshim, and I would reccomend going through it and seeing what damage you have now from running it like this. More than likely your center differential and viscous coupler are trash, but it will need to be dissassembled to find out what damage you now have.

Here are some of the parts and their part numbers that you will need:
Output Shaft Tapered Roller Bearing Inner MD718322
Output Shaft Tapered Roller Bearing Outer MD727861
End Shaft Nut MD731948 x 2
Roll Pins MD701722 x 3
Viscous Coupler Snapring (1.5mm) MD720687
Front Differential Roller Bearings MD706566 (worth replacing)
Transmission Filter MD738053
Reverse Wave Spring MD744342

This will be a minimun of parts I would replace.

^^Thanks for the help I finnaly found a guy in my area with transmssion work experience and spare parts. He's going to crack it open and check everything before transplanting the required usdsm parts, and as you mentioned above the v.c might be done for well see. Maybe I'll get some better dyno numbers out of my hx40 know that my driveline isn't all fuc%ed up.
