If your car is a manual - the 6 M/T without DCCD listed won't fit your car (pending your car description on your profile is accurate). You need part # 38913AA200, not 38913AA112 which is shown in the link.

Correct. If you want to be more than 100% certain, just take your VIN into a Subaru dealership / servicing centre and get them to give you a quote. The quote sheet will have a part # on it, which you can then forward to Japan parts.

What's different..?

[lib08gt]

I have absolutely no idea, all I know is that the part number is different. I know the part number ending in 112 is suited to various 3.0 models, where as the other part # won't fit the 2.5T's.

My guess is the Japanparts diff is for 5MT preFL and the OP is after a postFl 6MT center diff...

Appropos of nothing, a DCCD conversion with your existing box is only possible if you can find DCCD specific input and output shafts for the center...
Eg, from a broken DCCD gearbox.
A Cusco tarmac diff is another option at around $1K s/h.

Consider an STi torsen FLSD whilst the box is out...

Just a heads up

I had a 06 wrx 5 speed manual in at work that showed signs of a center diff bind up. I know you have a 6 speed

We did a power steering drain & flushed it through with Red Line Power Steering fluid. Directly after doing the flush the ( bind dropped by 90% ) we will need to do another flush a weeks time after the owner gets some ks on the car.

The car showed signs of center diff but it was bind was coming from the power steering.


from the web...............

This product is engineered specifically for your steering system, meeting different needs and demands that ATF fluid can't provide.

Red Line Power Steering Fluid satisfies the requirements of most power steering units, while providing 50% greater operating viscosity, 1/5 the evaporation of petroleum power steering fluids, much better low temperature steering, and greatly improved wear protection. Red Line Power Steering Fluid has much better thermal and oxidation resistance compared to petroleum power steering fluids and is capable of use at higher temperatures and will improve low-temperature steering compared to most factory fluids.

Red Line Power Steering Fluid can be used in high-performance racing and autocrossing to reduce power steering cavitation resulting in steering sponginess and boil-over. Red Line is compatible with petroleum power steering fluids and ATFs. The excellent detergency of this fluid keeps the power steering system clean and operating properly.

Features:

Helps prevent high-temperature steering fade
Helps prevent difficult low-temperature steering
Greater heat resistance
Helps prevent high-temperature boil-over
50% greater high-temperature viscosity
One-fifth the high-temperature evaporation
Helps prevent leakage and squealing
One-fourth the oxidation of petroleum power steering fluids
Compatible with petroleums and synthetics



*Red Line Power Steering Fluid satisfies the service fill requirements of most auto manufacturers. It can be used where the manufacturer calls for any automatic transmission fluid such as Dexron, Dexron II-D, II-E, or Dexron III, Ford Type-F, Mercon, or M2C138-CJ such as required by Ford, AMC, Toyota, Nissan, Lexus, Infiniti, Jaguar, VW, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, SAAB, Subaru, Volvo, Porsche, Mitsubishi, Mazda, and many others. This fluid also satisfies power steering units requiring GM Part Number 1050017 or 1052884(Spec Number 9985010) and Chrysler Spec Number 5931, and Ford Spec Number M2C33-F. Red Line Power Steering Fluid satisfies the hydraulic specifications of Denison HF-O, Vickers vane pumps, and Sundstrand piston pumps.
