How do you confirm if it's an R180? I'll have my car up on the jacks tomorrow.

It's got a slot for 1 of the plugs on the back cover and there is a big K on top.

Yep mine has a big K as well although none of the photos I've managed to find on the net have it.

Indeed thats just what mine (late 2006 build MY07) looks like...

Awesome stuff. Mine looks exactly like that too. I think it's safe to confirm all turbo six speeds have the r180

Subaru won't have stock of the seals and gasket till late this week, and bearing wholesalers can't match up seals according to the part numbers I've given them

Any idea why the seals blew? Overheated?

There was a minor leak previously. I saw some signs of oil on the diff housing. The extra power and thrashing I gave it on thurs night must have pushed it over the edge

Blocker breather and too much air pressure inside the diff

Wow, I bet this thing hauls Owen!!

I guess mine would have the R180 too? (built 01/2007). That's exciting news for me. Is the Liberty R180 an LSD?

My07 stock is a Torsen r180.

how did you figure it was a torsen?

by **bigBADbenny** » Tue Mar 12, 2013 10:15 am

The MY07 face lift press release blurb says so, for starters...

Got the joy of being a passenger in this car last night and all I can say is its LOUD ( screamer pipe ) and goes pretty hard! engine bay is very clean ( great work from G88 ) the tune is knock free and LV is good!

GREAT LITTLE PACKAGE FOR AWESOMENESS

Nice catch up Owen and glad to see your car back on the road....get your minor issues sorted and then enjoy it

B seeing you around soon
