Evo 3 gearset/diff

[90TSIAWDTALON]

I recently found out that the 2G I just purchased has the trans W5M33-2-UPFE Evo 3 RS which requires a different transfer case a rear gearset. From what I've read, the transfer case for the Evo 3 has the same gears as the 97-99 DSMs (can someone confirm this?) but I have yet to be able to find a Evo 3 rear diff to get the differential and gears out of or atlease a ring and pinion set to instal in my rear diff. Does anyone know a good place to either order a complete diff or at lease a gear set? Thanks all.

You'll have a much easier time just changing the front diff gears in the transmission.

Lovely. Never done any internal trans work, I guess this is a good time to start. Should I be able to buy the front diff gears or is it something that I'll have to get them out of a stock trans?

I'll trade you a set for yours.

I do believe that the automatic 2G rear diff has the proper ratio for the Evo front diff gears. If so, you could just buy the 2G auto pumpkin, swap it directly onto your car and off you go. The rear axles will be the same since the only difference from auto to manual is the ring and pinion in the case with the differential itself being the same between auto and manual.

EDIT: Nevermind, the Evo has 3.909, the auto dsm 3.307.

the 3.909 diff came in the 5spd expo . I would stay 3.9 rear. waay more fun setup.

If I could find a rear diff to get the differential unit out of or atleast a gear set, I would. But I'm most likely just going to trade bastarddsm since I can't seem to find anything.
