You will want to use the rear diff with proper drive modifier. This means using a rear diff out of the same body style.

Rear diff swap
Hi guys,
Not sure if this is the right place to post it, so I thought I'd post this here (rather than the transmission sub-forum, cause it seems so clean).
My question is - how doable is a rear diff swap on a GC generation STI (as in is it possible to change it in a driveway without a lift and without me being a pro)? And one more question - is it possible to use a rear diff, from a GC8 wrx (possibly other gens as well)?
There's this STI I'm quite interested in buying, that has a rear diff problem and I'm wondering if this issue will be a wormhole for money or not.
Thanks!

From what I remember it isn't too difficult.
As far as swapping from a different model, they will need to be cars with the same final drive and axle style. This document may prove helpful.. http://rallispec.com/downloads/Transmission%20ID%20Chart_Public.pdf

Are you pulling the entire pumpkin and putting a new one in or are you talking about pulling the carrier and replacing it? If you are getting your current one I would take it to someone. There is a fair amount of know-how to setting backlash and gear mesh.

Thanks for your answers! I'll have to look into this option of swapping it. And one more:
What would be a reasonable explanation for the rear diff going off?

Usually lack of maintenance and beating the piss out of it with donuts

Hard launches can damage the teeth on the gears as well, or just break them right off.
